Bill Cash: Can we please have a debate on the eurozone crisis, before the EU summit on 30 January, on the Floor of the House?

William Cash: The Leader of the House knows that there will be a summit on European matters towards the end of the month—probably 30 January; my hon. Friend Mr Leigh raised the matter last week. The European Scrutiny Committee has unanimously called on the Government to provide for a debate before that summit, on the Floor of the House, for a minimum of three hours. The last time I asked this question, I was told it should go off to Westminster Hall or should be dealt with by a Backbench Business Committee resolution. That is quite inappropriate; this is a serious matter, affecting the whole of the United Kingdom. It needs to have a general debate on the Floor of the House. Can we please have one?
