USE OF THE TERM EUROPEAN UNION

Early day motion 475, tabled 16 September 2015 by Kelvin Hopkins (Labour). Signed by 19 members.

That this House deprecates the frequent use of the term Europe when what is meant is the European Union; considers Europe to be a wonderful continent of great nations and great peoples, of great beauty and culture, and that the European Union is simply a political structure covering many of the countries of Europe; and therefore urges that in all governmental offices and documentation the term European Union should be used whenever appropriate, and specifically that, among other changes, the Minister for Europe should be designated the Minister for the European Union.

Signatures by party: Conservative 11, Labour 7, DUP 1.
