Proceeding contribution from Denis MacShane (Independent (affiliation)) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 26 January 2012. It occurred during Topical debate and Backbench debate on European Council.
European Council
It is a pleasure to follow the speech of the hon. Member for Folkestone and Hythe (Damian Collins), which was measured and considered. He will forgive me if I do not embrace his term ““fellow traveller”” as Britain's destiny in the coming years, as those of us who know our history do not really like that language. I was rather worried when the hon. Gentleman said that ““the markets will make that decision for them””, ““them”” being the people. I rather hope that at some stage we might have some recognition from the Conservative party that markets should be the servants of the people, not their masters.
