Proceeding contribution from Michael Connarty (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 8 March 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on European Union Bill.


European Union Bill

I think that what I said was that the more paperwork that is provided, the less it is read. Information can and should be given, and Ministers do not give it often enough from the Dispatch Box or in evidence. They try to hide information. It is paperwork that frightens people, not information.
