Proceeding contribution from Lord Strathclyde (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 28 June 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on G8 and G20 Summits.

G8 and G20 Summits

My Lords, I am sure that the noble Lord, Lord Eatwell, enjoyed that in the spirit in which it was intended. I agree with my noble friend that fiscal consolidation is important. Not only have we struck the right balance but, increasingly around the world, it is seen that we have struck the right balance. On the question of the G20 and the G8, my noble friend is again correct. Different countries have taken different views of these issues, particularly the developing countries. That is not news today but has been true for some time. That is why the climate change conference in Cancun will be extremely important.
