Proceeding contribution from William Cash (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 3 June 2010. It occurred during Debate on European Affairs.


European Affairs

I am greatly encouraged by the line that the hon. Gentleman is taking on this issue. In the spirit of good fellowship, does he agree that in negotiations to change the working time directive—or any of the other massive burdens on business that Lord Mandelson suggested were costing 4% of GDP—we would need to be able to repatriate those powers? Otherwise we would end up with a European Union that did not work because we would not be able to trade effectively.
