Proceeding contribution from William Cash (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 9 December 2008. It occurred during Debate on European Affairs.

European Affairs

I am listening to the right hon. Gentleman, and we have heard that suggestion, too, but for all the reasons I have given, I think it would be disastrous. Does the right hon. Gentleman recognise that, as with the exchange rate mechanism, some people might be deliberately attacking the pound—there is no doubting that it happened on previous occasions—to undermine our position so that some people might have an advantage in trying to argue a way into political union? I am not alleging that, but does the right hon. Gentleman recognise it as an argument that he might have heard somewhere outside the House?
