Proceeding contribution from Baroness Stuart of Edgbaston (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 21 June 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.


European Council

May I join the Prime Minister in paying tribute to the 300th member of the British armed forces who lost his life, not least because he lost it in my constituency of Birmingham, Edgbaston, where the Royal Centre for Defence Medicine and the medical facilities are located? On the European Council meeting and the Prime Minister's response, he was very positive about the 2020 agenda. Given that the 2010 Lisbon agenda was vacuous, useless and did not deliver anything, why does he think the 2020 agenda, which is going to build on that, will produce anything more useful?
