Proceeding contribution from Chris Ruane (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)
My hon. Friend mentioned that there are parts of Europe that have not benefited as much as they should from being a member of the EU. The Government introduced objective 1 funding for Wales and other areas of the UK. Why does my hon. Friend think that the Conservatives, when they were in government, failed to apply for objective 1 funding, especially given that they had a pit closure programme, they were running down steel mills, and seaside towns were left to dangle in the wind?
