European Union (Amendment) Bill

I am grateful to you, Madam Deputy Speaker. The point I am seeking to make is that the argument that we have heard throughout the debates in Committee, and which we have begun to hear from the Opposition in this debate, confirms a profound shift towards Euroscepticism and views that were regarded as minority and extremist views less than two decades ago. It is no wonder that Caroline Jackson, also a Conservative MEP, has described her party's position on Europe as"““a very nasty patch of poisonous fungus””."
