Proceeding contribution from Hugh Bayley (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 25 February 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on European Union (Amendment) Bill.
European Union (Amendment) Bill
The hon. Gentleman argues that we need to do more to ensure the eradication of poverty. The treaty states:"““Union development cooperation policy shall have as its primary objective the reduction and, in the long term, the eradication of poverty.””" Why is he supporting a group of amendments that include the deletion of that proposed policy from the treaty?
