Proceeding contribution from Simon Hughes (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 3 June 2010. It occurred during Debate on European Affairs.


European Affairs

It is important that what the Foreign Secretary has just said is given maximum publicity. One of the aspects of the disempowerment felt by the British public is the perception that European legislation has been forced on them. We should have a real debate about the merits of issues such as the working time directive, and what he has just said will be warmly welcomed not only by his party, but by mine.
