Proceeding contribution from Lord Cameron of Chipping Norton (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 22 November 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on NATO Summit.

NATO Summit

My hon. Friend is entirely right. I think it important for us to send a message to the Turks that, as far as we are concerned, they should be sitting in the tent as well as guarding the camp, and I therefore believe that, as well as being good NATO members, they should be encouraged into the European Union. They are a key ally—a key NATO ally. Given our relations with Iran, it is important for them to be staunch in terms of sanctions and trade with Iran, because that will send the clearest possible message to their neighbour.
