Proceeding contribution from Lord Pearson of Rannoch (UK Independence Party) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 14 May 2008. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on European Union (Amendment) Bill.


European Union (Amendment) Bill

I would like to give that assurance but, as I have discovered in these proceedings, if one puts the smallest match to the dry hillside of Europhiliac fury, I cannot guarantee that even if I move the amendment very briefly—it will take me about four minutes—we will not be here until 1 o’clock before we finish with ““Xenophobia””. In those circumstances it may well be time to draw stumps.
