Proceeding contribution from Ed Davey (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 10 February 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on United States of America.
United States of America
The hon. Gentleman is making a powerful speech, much of which I agree with, but he is in danger of putting up an Aunt Sally. I do not believe that anyone in the European Union is talking about the sort of political union that he mentioned or about getting rid of national vetoes on foreign and security policy, and nor should they. However, what did he think of Vice-President Biden's speech, in Munich, the other day, when he called strongly for the European Union to take an increased role in this area to ensure that member states do more in supporting the United State's efforts?
