Proceeding contribution from Baroness Stuart of Edgbaston (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 want to take the Foreign Secretary back to when he said that he wished to share power. Does he also wish to share power in the European Union with UK citizens who apply for high-level jobs in it? The latest statistics show that British applicants make up less than 5%, because they are not competent in a second language. The Germans and French take something like 20% of the jobs, so could we share that power also with our workers and upwards?
