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 Home Secretary now says that her position is that she does not actually have to offer the House of Commons a vote on anything and therefore we should be grateful for the 11 measures we got to vote on last week. When did she say that to Parliament? Is it not the truth that she said repeatedly, over many months, that she would give the House a vote on the measures? She did not say that she would not give the House a vote because she did not have to; she said she would give the House a vote. If she has changed her position, why did she not say that before?
