Proceeding contribution from Philip Davies (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 24 October 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.


European Council

As global traders, our future prosperity lies in improved trade with China, India, South America and emerging economies in Africa, and not in being part of the backward-facing, inward-facing protection racket that is the European Union, which is propping up inefficient businesses and French farmers. The Prime Minister's objection to tonight's motion seems to be about timing. Will he give us a timetable for getting powers back from the European Union?
