Proceeding contribution from Marquess of Lothian (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 10 December 2008. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Foreign Affairs and Defence.


Foreign Affairs and Defence

If I understood the hon. Gentleman correctly, he said that the ““nothing is agreed until everything is agreed”” doctrine was a hindrance. May I remind him that we applied that doctrine in Northern Ireland? From my personal experience, I can tell him that had we not applied it, we would not have made the progress that we did.
