Proceeding contribution from Mark Hoban (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 24 April 2012. It occurred during Debate on Section 5 of the European Communities (Amendment) Act 1993.

Section 5 of the European Communities (Amendment) Act 1993

If I may, I will finish my paragraph as it may clear up any misapprehensions that the hon. Gentleman has. I would like to reassure the House that following these reforms the UK is still not subject to sanctions under the strengthened stability and growth pact—the EU treaty is clear that they apply only to EU area countries. Unlike other countries, the UK will only present its convergence programme to the Commission after the Budget is presented to Parliament—the procedure that we are following today.
