Proceeding contribution from Lord Cameron of Chipping Norton (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 December 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.


European Council

My hon. Friend is right that we should push for progress with Turkish accession—and we are. I raised this with the Hungarian Prime Minister when he came to Downing street last week because Hungary is going to hold the future presidency of the European Union. We have to win the argument in Europe—too many are opposed to Turkish membership. I think that all the arguments are in favour and that we should push this as hard as we can and keep opening those chapters to show that we are doing so in good faith.
