Brexit: European Parliament Resolution

Lord Cormack Excerpts

Thursday 6th April 2017 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Goldie]

If I can recover from the stereophonic effect of the contributions from the Labour Benches, I thank the noble Lord for raising that issue. It is specific to the negotiations. I am certain that it will be discussed within the negotiations. It would be quite wrong for me to pre-empt an answer to that, and I am not going to do so.

[Lord Cormack (Con)]

My Lords, in order to calm the rhetoric in the European Parliament, will my noble friend think of sending a certain United Kingdom Member of that Parliament a definition of the word “mafia” and a copy of How to Win Friends and Influence People?

[Baroness Goldie]

As ever, my noble friend seeks to pour oil on troubled waters. I am sure his comments will be noted.
