Proceeding contribution from William Cash (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 25 February 2008. It occurred during Debate on treaty on Treaty of Lisbon (No. 6).

Treaty of Lisbon (No. 6)

The hon. Gentleman makes much of the moral and ethical dimension, on which I agree with him entirely in principle. Does he not agree, however—I made this point to the hon. Member for City of York (Hugh Bayley), and I should like to know what the Liberal Democrats think—that poverty cannot be eradicated without proper and efficient mechanisms to deal with corruption in the developing world? It is not possible to remove poverty without removing corruption.
