Proceeding contribution from Alan Meale (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 27 October 2011. It occurred during Debate on Council of Europe (UK Chairmanship).
Council of Europe (UK Chairmanship)
Like the hon. Gentleman's colleagues, I pay tribute to him for his work at the Council of Europe over many years. Members of all parties will agree that he does a fine job. I apologise, but I will have to leave the debate shortly to chair the meeting in Westminster Hall. On the hon. Gentleman's point about the sovereignty of nations, what about Turkey? Its has refused to accept the outcome of the Louzides case on the confiscation of property—it has paid up, but it has never accepted it. What about its current threat that if Cyprus is given the presidency of the Council of Ministers, it will leave the Council of Europe and not pursue any path towards entry into the European Union?
