Opposition Day— [19th Allotted Day—Half Day]: European Union documents
Motion made, and Question put forthwith (Standing Order No. 119(11)),
That this House takes note of European Union Document COM(2011) 149, relating to consular protection for EU citizens in third countries; recalls that such Communications are not legally binding; underlines that the competence for consular protection remains with Member States; and agrees with the Government’s approach to the EU’s consular work.—(Stephen Crabb.)
