Proceeding contribution from Patricia Hewitt (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 9 December 2008. It occurred during Debate on European Affairs.

European Affairs

My right hon. Friend has made an important point about the fiscal stimulus package in Germany as well as across the European Union. In January, we will see a similar fiscal stimulus package on a massive scale in the United States of America, when President-elect Obama takes over. Does he agree that the real disaster for Britain would be if we had a Government who isolated us from both our European allies and the new leadership in the United States?
