Proceeding contribution from Malcolm Rifkind (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 24 October 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.
European Council
I agree with the Prime Minister's view on the debate this afternoon. However, has he had drawn to his attention the terms of the third option in the motion, which is to"““re-negotiate…membership in order to create a new relationship based on trade and co-operation””?" Is that not purely the situation of Norway and Switzerland, is that not incompatible with membership of the European Union, and should not anyone who is interested in renegotiation that will enable us to stay within the Union oppose this motion?
