Proceeding contribution from David Lidington (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 14 July 2010. It occurred during Debate on European External Action Service.
European External Action Service
My hon. Friend misunderstands me if he thinks I have any lack of confidence in the capabilities of our network of ambassadors and high commissioners around the world, but it is the Government's judgment that there are areas where it makes sense for the 27 member states of the European Union to speak with one voice if they can. Later in my speech I will give some examples of where I believe United Kingdom national interests have been well served by such a common approach.
