National Referendum on the European Union debate
24th October 2011
Anne Marie Morris supports the motion calling for a Bill to provide for a national referendum on the Europe Union.
Anne Marie Morris (Newton Abbot) (Con): Does the right hon. Gentleman therefore agree that, in the words of Gandhi:
“Evolution of democracy is not possible if we are not prepared to hear the other side”?
Mr Dodds: I entirely agree, and I think that people in all parts of the United Kingdom who are listening to the debate will be mystified by some of the arguments being put forward, which are completely contrary to their wish simply to have a choice. Regardless of whether people are for or against the EU, they are entitled to have their say.
