EU Justice and Home Affairs Measures

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

My right hon. Friend is absolutely right to set out the benefits of cross-border co-operation with other crime-fighting agencies across Europe, but is not the real issue one of democracy, in that elected Members of the House of Commons, whichever side of the debate they are on, have not been given the opportunity to have a say on these issues? Is not the reason behind that that it will show the deep schism on the Conservative Benches on the issue of Europe?
