Proceeding contribution from Jim Murphy (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 right hon. Gentleman is right—I am quoting myself—but I am quoting from something that I actually said, rather than from something that I wish I had said. I said on Second Reading that every conservative Government in Europe and every major conservative opposition party in Europe supported the Lisbon treaty. I asked then, as I do now, which other conservative party in Europe supports the British Conservative party's opposition to the Lisbon treaty and its recipe for isolation. I will give way to any Conservative Member who wishes to answer that question.
