"Mr President, here we are again in Strasbourg, having travelled to this building that we occupy only 50 days a year, at a cost of millions to the taxpayer, discussing another strategy for growth and jobs – when it is EU legislation from this building that has cost my constituents in Scunthorpe and Rotherham their jobs.
The obsessive green agenda has led to increased energy prices. Even the outgoing boss at Tata Steel in Scunthorpe has said those levies cost them 130 million a year. Thanks to our EU membership the British Government’s hand is well and truly shoved up its back. Now we are even using Swedish steel to make British military equipment: steel that defeated Hitler is no longer good enough for our armed forces.
I say we should ignore the Commission and put our own people first. If Brussels does not want us to have a steel industry, it is something we can talk about after the referendum in 2017. I imagine that conversation is going to be very brief, as polls keep showing us a win for ‘leave’."@en1
