Proceeding contribution from Lord Stoddart of Swindon (Independent Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 29 April 2008. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on European Union (Amendment) Bill.


European Union (Amendment) Bill

Well, some of us find that the noble Lord’s position on the European Union has always been rather dangerous for this country. I would probably prefer to be risible rather than dangerous. However, we have known each other a long time, and we know each other’s position. We can probably carry on without any name-calling. The noble Baroness knows my position. I believe that this is a retrograde step and I therefore support the amendment.
