Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Baroness Nicholson of Winterbourne (Liberal Democrat). It was answered on Thursday, 12 July 2007.


EU: Parliament

Question
My Lords, is the noble Lord aware that those of us who voted yesterday in Brussels for the coming annual calendar, which endorses the two-seat solution, did so with a very heavy heart indeed? Is he further aware that while President Barroso of the European Commission may see the European Union as an empire, we in the European Parliament do not want to follow the travel schedule of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth I, with the consequential impact on the national budget?
Answer

My Lords, the whole House will be grateful for that update on matters European. I am not so sure whether it is a consolation to the House that the vote proceeded with a heavy heart.
