Proceeding contribution from Lord Rooker (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 18 December 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council: 14-15 December 2006.


European Council: 14-15 December 2006

My Lords, I cannot go beyond what the Statement said about legitimacy. I cannot remember the phrase now, but I will come to it; it was about accepting ““a legitimate Palestinian Government””. I do not want to say that we would adopt one set of proposals, because of the nuances involved. Quite clearly, we want the road map for the Middle East to work, and to bring about peace. Indeed, that is why the Prime Minister was not making the Statement in the other place today, and why he is in the Middle East.
