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


European Council

My hon. Friend makes a good point. Obviously, our party did not support the Lisbon treaty or the creation of the European External Action Service. I am very keen that resources are not badly spent or badly used on the service. Not much progress has yet been made. We will work to try to ensure that the service increases nation states' ability to project themselves in the world, and does not become an expensive bureaucracy.
