Proceeding contribution from Graham Stringer (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 6 November 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on European Union (Croatian Accession and Irish Protocol) Bill.
European Union (Croatian Accession and Irish Protocol) Bill
Is there not a deeper point to the Bill? Although expansion has genuine economic and political benefits, the United Kingdom’s influence is being diminished. Under qualified majority voting we will have less influence. Another country will also be a recipient of funds, as opposed to a donor, so our position is weakened.
