Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Harrison (Labour). It was answered on Wednesday, 23 November 2005.


EU Presidency: Hampton Court Summit

Question
My Lords, as we draw to the end of another successful British presidency, will my noble friend nevertheless redouble efforts to implement the Lisbon agenda and to complete the single European market, because that is the way that prosperity is brought to the European Union and jobs to its people?
Answer

My Lords, the Lisbon agenda is of the utmost importance, and that was the basis of the discussions at Hampton Court. The title of the meeting at Hampton Court was ““European Values in a Globalised World””. To pursue our values in a globalised world, we have to work on the Lisbon agenda and we have to achieve a properly integrated single market.
