Proceeding contribution from Baroness Beckett (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 18 December 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.
European Council
No. Indeed, the view expressed by our Prime Minister at the Hampton Court summit during the British presidency—that one of the best ways to bring Europe closer to its citizens is for Europe to devote itself to things that its citizens actually care about—is widely welcomed and is an approach that people are increasingly trying to follow. As for why it was such a quiet Council, perhaps it was because people were leaving space for a train wreck that did not happen.
