"Madam President, I do not want to criticise but to praise the people who put together this quite extraordinary building. When you move into a new home, there are always problems.
There are problems, Madam President, but I appreciate that you,Mr Priestley and the group who dealt with the complaints from the last session recognise them. There seems to be a culture of complaining among the Members. How many of them had such lovely offices as we have here – and we are only here for four days a week. We have beautiful offices, fully equipped. Of course they need one or two things done to them, but if we constantly complain, we will get nowhere.
Having said that, I should like to make one request. In Brussels, there is a Members’ bar – as is traditional in parliaments throughout the European Union. I would like to see a room here where just Members can go to talk amongst themselves in private.
As regards the car-park, I have had difficulty once or twice in finding my car but I found it in the end. I did miss a vote during the week because of the lifts, but I recognise that in due course these matters will be resolved.
I must say that I admire the technicians and other people who have been criticised here. They have taken a lot of stick and have been hurt unnecessarily in many ways. I want to pay tribute to them and all the workers who put together this wonderful building.
