Proceeding contribution from Mike Penning (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 10 February 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on United States of America.


United States of America

My hon. Friend is delivering a passionate speech on this country's special relationship with America and America's relationship with the world. At the heart of our special relationship with America is friendship. All friendships need constructive criticism. Does he agree that the reason we have such a great relationship with America is that we have had the courage and conviction over the years not always to agree with everything that America has done? We have stood up for the rights of this country when they have been in contradiction with what has happened in America.
