Proceeding contribution from Michael Connarty (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 24 October 2011. It occurred during Backbench debate on National Referendum on the European Union.


National Referendum on the European Union

I hate to continue the process of lecturing, which my hon. Friend the Member for Glasgow South West (Mr Davidson) did not like, but it is the Council of Europe, not the EU, that set the convention. In 1949, 49 countries came together to bring about human rights for all in Europe.
