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

It would be inappropriate for the UK Government to dictate the economic policies to be followed by those in the eurozone. Members of the eurozone have made it very clear that they wish to remain part of it, and there are even member states queuing up to join it. Indeed, if we have an independent Scotland, it might consider joining the eurozone. There are challenges, but there is a strong political commitment in the eurozone for the euro to remain in place.
