Proceeding contribution from Baroness Royall of Blaisdon (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 2 November 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.


European Council

My Lords, I believe that we probably have six months or so before a general election, and I would not wish to prejudge the views and voices of the British people at that election. Like the noble Lord, I am acutely aware of what the polls say. Quite honestly, however, I do not think that we give enough space in this country to talking about European issues. Perhaps that is one lesson that we should all have learnt earlier.
