Proceeding contribution from Lord Soames of Fletching (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 21 June 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.


European Council

I join my right hon. Friend in paying tribute to the fallen, and I warmly congratulate him on the judicious way in which he balanced British and European interests at the European Council. Did he have an opportunity to discuss the accession of Turkey to the European Union? Will he confirm that, not least because Turkey continues to play a very important role in world affairs, that continues to be a cardinal act of British policy?
