Proceeding contribution from Andrew Murrison (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 10 March 2011. It occurred during Backbench debate on Inter-Parliamentary Scrutiny (EU Foreign, Defence and Security Policy).

Inter-Parliamentary Scrutiny (EU Foreign, Defence and Security Policy)

In support of the point made by the hon. Member for Ilford South (Mike Gapes), I note that Guido Westerwelle said at the Munich security conference in February last year:"““The long-term goal is the establishment of a European army under full parliamentary control.””" I share the dismay that today's Chamber is not full with Members concerned about such remarks being made by very senior politicians in Europe, and particularly in Germany.
