Proceeding contribution from Lord Hague of Richmond (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 9 December 2008. It occurred during Debate on European Affairs.

European Affairs

My right hon. Friend is right to draw attention to that passage, which does indeed appear in the conclusions obtained by our right hon. Friend the Member for Wells (Mr. Heathcoat-Amory) from the Danish Parliament. I obtained another version a few hours ago, although it was entirely in French. The English version had not yet reached me. We shall want to know in much more detail exactly what that means from, among others, the Prime Minister when he returns and makes a statement to the House next Monday. The Foreign Secretary clearly did not want to include it in his analysis of the summit, but anything that was anti-competitive or constrained the country in its defence co-operation with the United States would be a very serious matter.
