Proceeding contribution from Rob Marris (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 26 February 2008. It occurred during Debate on treaty on Treaty of Lisbon (No. 7).

Treaty of Lisbon (No. 7)

I am grateful to the right hon. Gentleman for stiffening yet further my resolve to vote in favour of the Lisbon treaty, if he is right that it will make the accession of Turkey more difficult. Turkey has been messing the European Union around for 20 years. We have been saying, ““Clean up your human rights act and we'll let you in the European Union,”” but it has done almost nothing in 20 years. We should tell it to get lost.
