As the right hon. Gentleman knows, that is another issue close to my heart. I understand why he has raised the issue of the Conservative Danish Prime Minister, but he is not comparing apples with apples.

The Secretary of State must not compare Denmark with the United Kingdom; we are a far more important country and we must protect our constitution.
