Proceeding contribution from Simon Hughes (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 December 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.
European Council
I congratulate the Prime Minister on a robust performance in Brussels. Resisting the Parliament's demand for an extravagant budget was absolutely the right thing to do. As he looks ahead towards the justified freeze on the budget post-2014—and not just because of the weather—can he assure us that it does not mean that the budget will be frozen, but that subsidies that are not justified and expenditure that is wasted will be replaced by, for example, expenditure on energy and climate change issues, which are both the priority of this Government and ought to be the priority of the European Union as well?
