Proceeding contribution from Geoffrey Hoon (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 8 May 2006. It occurred during Parliamentary proceeding on Future EU Finances and Own Resources.
Future EU Finances and Own Resources
When I was at the Ministry of Defence, there were a number of rather large oil paintings depicting Britain’s great victories over France in the past. I would hope, however, that in the 21st century it was important for us to work closely with our nearest neighbour, as well as other members of the European Union. Certainly France was happy, and I am sure that that was because of the extremely effective negotiating skills of Britain’s Ministers.
