Proceeding contribution from Jo Swinson (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 26 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 right hon. Gentleman quotes from a European Parliament document issued three years ago, but the Liberal Democrat position is incredibly clear. Exclusive competence is currently set out in EU legislation, and the right hon. Gentleman should recognise that, as I have already said, even if his amendment were passed tonight, nothing would change. This is pure political posturing by the right hon. Gentleman's party. With that, Mrs. Heal, I would now like to let other Members speak, but I am afraid that I will not be able to support these amendments.
