Proceeding contribution from James Clappison (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 26 January 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on European Union Bill.

European Union Bill

My hon. Friend is making an excellent speech and some telling points. Does he agree that the EU is being honest about what it wants to do? It wants, en bloc, to create an area of freedom, security and justice, and to have EU authority over that whole bloc. It is not a question of our Government looking judiciously at the odd measure here or there and whether things will be made better or not. We are confronted with an attempt by the EU to carve out jurisdiction across the piece in the area of freedom, security and justice. That is its stated ambition.
