Proceeding contribution from Lord Howell of Guildford (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 20 May 2008. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on European Union (Amendment) Bill.


European Union (Amendment) Bill

Would the noble Lord let me finish my sentence? He has asked a question, which I am trying to answer. That is reasonable, isn’t it? Mr Sarkozy said that many issues are unsettled and that there are many new issues to face. Many others in France and Germany and in the UK have said that we should now be thinking about moving on to the next treaty. Some say we need further integration, and other people say that centralisation is out of date and we need a new direction. There are a lot of opportunities, and they have to be taken.
