Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hoey (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 2 July 2012. It occurred during Ministerial statement on EU Council.
EU Council
May I simply ask the Prime Minister to look at his terminology? In his statement, he mentioned Britain 12 times; he did not mention the United Kingdom once. Does he agree that if there is to be a referendum, which I think is inevitable, the people of Northern Ireland should have a very strong say? He must, in the European Council, refer to the United Kingdom, or the UK for short; saying “Britain” excludes Northern Ireland.
