David Miliband, the foreign secretary wants an apology after a Labour MP compared his approach to the new EU treaty to Neville Chamberlain's appeasement of Germany.
Michael Connarty, the chairman the European Scrutiny Committee, said to Mr Miliband after he tried to explain there was no threat to British sovereignty from the reform treaty reminded him of Chamberlain's "peace in our time" declaration shortly before the German occupation of Czechoslovakia in 1938.
Connarty, who had summoned Mr Miliband to give evidence about the implications to UK sovereignty of the treaty, told the Foreign Secretary he was ready to apologise "if it hurts your sensitivity".
