Proceeding contribution from Denis MacShane (Independent (affiliation)) 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

If it is any consolation to the hon. Gentleman, he gets an extra minute by giving way to me. In some respects, the hon. Gentleman and other speakers are slightly behind the curve, as the United States is now working at the UN with Britain and France on a composite motion with good things in it. On Germany, I agree with him, but is the response surprising when some Members make speech after speech in this House attacking Germany and the EU and then, when they need Germany's help, turn round and say, ““Will you be our friends after all?””?
