EU Justice and Home Affairs Measures

Proceeding contribution from Yvette Cooper (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 19 November 2014. It occurred during Opposition day on EU Justice and Home Affairs Measures.

The right hon. Gentleman is absolutely right. The Home Secretary has deprived him of his will to live, so I feel sorry for him, but he is right that we need to get on to the huge amount of substance in this debate.

I must say that the most startling thing of all in the chaos of last week’s debate was not the betrayal of promises or even the contempt for Parliament, but seeing the Chief Whip and the Home Secretary having to sit next to each other on the Government Front Bench and having to talk to each other for a change.
