Proceeding contribution from Lord Stoddart of Swindon (Independent Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 19 June 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council: June 2006.
European Council: June 2006
My Lords, this summit has certainly been under-reported. I have one question for the Leader of the House concerning the decision to create a pan-European counter-terrorism force, which I understand will proceed apace, with a steering group meeting within a fortnight. As far as I understand it, it will involve the pooling of the police, civil protection and military assets of all 25 nation states, including Britain. That seems to me a very large step. Will Parliament have a say in the creation of this force, how should it operate and what its resources should be?
