The right hon. Gentleman is right—I am quoting myself—but I am quoting from something that I actually said, rather than from something that I wish I had said.
I said on Second Reading that every conservative Government in Europe and every major conservative opposition party in Europe supported the Lisbon treaty. I asked then, as I do now, which other conservative party in Europe supports the British Conservative party's opposition to the Lisbon treaty and its recipe for isolation. I will give way to any Conservative Member who wishes to answer that question.
