Proceeding contribution from Lord Astor of Hever (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 2 November 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Defence: Treaties with France.
Defence: Treaties with France
My Lords, I am quite happy to put that in the Library. This concern can be exaggerated. France and the United Kingdom have been in NATO together for many years, we have served happily together, and I remind the noble Lord that the French and the British fought successfully together in World War 1 and World War 2. In World War 1, we served under General Foch. My grandfather was a British commander-in-chief and he was very happy to take his orders from him.
