Proceeding contribution from Philip Hollobone (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 20 December 2005. It occurred during Ministerial statement on WTO Conference (Hong Kong).


WTO Conference (Hong Kong)

Despite Britain’s best efforts, were we not badly let down by our EU counterparts? Does the Secretary of State agree with the Make Poverty History campaign that although EU decision-makers have been quick to echo the words of trade justice campaigners, they have not changed their policies in practice? Is not Britain being let down by a combination of pressure from overfed French farmers and ineffective leadership from the EU’s Trade Commissioner?
