Mr Philip Hammond (Runnymede and Weybridge, Conservative)
The Minister is quite wrong: the word ''European'' does not appear anywhere. That is yesterday's argument, if I may say so. Let us focus on the issues that are on the agenda. The Government's regional agenda is clearly at the forefront of the issues that we have to consider. The Government's European agenda appears to have been abandoned in the face of the overwhelming hostility of the electorate. No doubt the regional agenda will be abandoned in the face of the overwhelming hostility of the electorate in due course.
