Proceeding contribution from Baroness Stuart of Edgbaston (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 17 March 2011. It occurred during Debate on North Africa and the Middle East.
North Africa and the Middle East
I take absolutely no issue with the hon. Gentleman's comment that it is our political and moral duty to do that. However, at the risk of rehearsing European history, the 10 countries that joined the European Union in 2004 were democracies before the iron curtain fell, so we were restoring democracy and we did it within the framework of membership of the European Union. It is different.
