John Dardis (Progressive Democrats)

I support the call for a debate on interest rates and banking. First, however, it is important for the House to welcome the decision of the Polish people to agree to accession to the European Union. In particular, we welcome the fact that the "Yes" vote was so overwhelming and that the 50% voter turnout threshold, required for a valid vote, was comfortably achieved. The House should congratulate the Polish Government on the result.
