RENEGOTIATION OF THE UK'S RELATIONSHIP WITH THE EU

Motion Text

That this House congratulates The Mail On Sunday on calling for the UK to renegotiate its relationship with the European Union; notes that its article of 20th July characterised the current relationship as `fatuous Brussels' rules and inflexible British functionaries' and called this `our national curse', stated that the current relationship `repeatedly operates against the interests of this country's small businessmen, farmers, shopkeepers and consumers', concluded that no one `can now seriously argue that Britain's long entanglement with the EU has been beneficial, successful or sensible', and called on Parliament `to think seriously about freeing ourselves from this absurd, annoying organisation, and go back to making and enforcing our own laws'; and calls on the Government to respond appropriately to The Mail On Sunday's advice.
