Proceeding contribution from Chris Bryant (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 26 January 2012. It occurred during Topical debate and Backbench debate on European Council.


European Council

In actual fact, in countries such as Spain and Greece there is no such campaign to leave the euro—any campaign, such as it is, is very minor. The vast majority of people accept that the euro is there to stay and they want to make it work. To return to the hon. Gentleman's earlier point about the stability and growth pact, the only way that it could have worked would have been if the European Union had had power to enforce audit on countries and to enforce the rules. That is an argument for more Europe, not for less.
