Proceeding contribution from Baroness Williams of Crosby (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 13 June 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on European Union Bill.
European Union Bill
I agree with the noble Lord, Lord Martin, but I think he misunderstood my point. I was not advocating that we join the euro—indeed, I went so far as to say that I saw no possibility in the near future of our doing so or even wishing to do so. My point was that we cannot walk away from the plight of Ireland because we do not happen to belong to the euro. We have to address those issues whether or not we belong to the euro, and that is an issue on which I would have thought the noble Lord and I would find ourselves sharing a very strong sense of agreement.
