Proceeding contribution from Tony Blair (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 19 December 2005. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.

That would have the most serious repercussions for this country’s ability to make its influence felt, which is no doubt why the previous leaders of the Conservative party, including the shadow Foreign Secretary, refused to do it.
