Description

John Fraser interviews Labour Party Euro leader, Glyn Ford, about a walk-out of Labour Party members from the newly-elected European Parliament in Strasbourg following the opening of the first session by 88-year-old French National Front parliamentarian Claude Autant-Lara. The protest was made at the way in which the French right-wingers had put forward this candidate in order to steal the limelight.
