Proceeding contribution from Lord Hammond of Runnymede (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 19 November 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on European Communities (Finance) Bill.
European Communities (Finance) Bill
The right hon. Gentleman is making a valiant attempt to defend the indefensible. If the deal is such a good one for Britain, will he tell us why, when the previous Prime Minister came back from Brussels with it in his knapsack, the present Prime Minister ran around briefing every journalist he could get his hands on that it was a bad deal for Britain and that he would never have signed up to it?
