European Affairs

In November 2005, the leader of our party spoke categorically about an imperative policy in relation to competitiveness and the need for repatriation. Does the word "discussions", used by my right hon. and learned Friend the Member for Rushcliffe (Mr. Clarke) the other day, contradict the word "repatriation" in that context? We should be able to be entirely clear about whether the word "discussions" was inappropriate and needs to be rejected.
