EU: UK Isolation

Debate between Lord Giddens and Baroness Warsi

Monday 22nd April 2013 Grand Committee

[Lord Giddens]

Mine were not undergraduate questions but Socratic propositions.

[Baroness Warsi]

On the question asked by the noble Lord, Lord Bowness, the primary supposition is very clear. It is very apparent that the Conservative Party’s policy is one of renegotiation. In my last job I spent many hours touring the country speaking to Conservative members. When I asked them whether they wanted out, in as it is now or renegotiation, more than 90% always went for renegotiation. That is the Prime Minister’s position and I hope that it is clear.
