Proceeding contribution from Madeleine Moon (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 4 June 2009. It occurred during Debate on Defence in the World.


Defence in the World

I fail to see what the hon. Gentleman is trying to achieve by that question. [Interruption.] May I complete the point? Obviously we have an individual responsibility to our constituents and our nation state has a responsibility to its citizens, but as I said at the beginning, it is thanks to our European consensus and our European involvement that we have maintained peace across Europe for longer than at any time in our history.
