Proceeding contribution from Michael Connarty (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 11 March 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on European Union (Amendment) Bill.

European Union (Amendment) Bill

The hon. Gentleman will recall—although he must have been very young then, because he seems very young now—that it was the Conservative party that sold that line. The Labour party's official position at the time was to oppose the treaty, although I voted for it in 1975. Does the hon. Gentleman's party oppose membership of the European Union? His argument suggests that it does.
