Treaty of Lisbon (No. 4)

The one nation that I was referring to, as my hon. Friend knows, was that of Disraeli, who was not talking about Europe. I am not keen on my hon. Friend trying to put into my mouth words that he knows perfectly well I have never said. I would just remind him that the one nation principle—the principle that we are together trying to raise the standards of all of us—applies more widely in the European Union, because we want standards to rise there, too.
