Proceeding contribution from Denis MacShane (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 26 May 2010. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Foreign Affairs and Defence.
Foreign Affairs and Defence
One of the ambitions that we all have is that Turkey should join the European Union if it fulfils the conditions. That will involve a redistribution of powers within the EU. Under the new Government policy, that would require a referendum, which I do not think would be won in Britain. The Government have just announced the death of our pro-Turkey policy.
