Proceeding contribution from Rob Marris (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 6 February 2008. It occurred during Debate on treaty on Treaty of Lisbon (No. 4).
Treaty of Lisbon (No. 4)
The hon. Member for Runnymede and Weybridge (Mr. Hammond) decried President Sarkozy for saying that competition should be a means and not an end. I do not agree with President Sarkozy about many things, but in this case I do. However, the Tories seem to see competition as an end in itself, thus making a fetish of what is a means to greater prosperity. Does the hon. Gentleman agree that to make competition an end in itself is economic reductionism of the worst order?
