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. Some Labour Members talk as if there were a choice between going for growth and dealing with the deficit. The truth is that the deficit must be dealt with to get the confidence that is needed for growth. If Labour Members sat in the European Council and argued that deficits were not a problem, their fellow socialists in Portugal, Spain and Greece, who are in difficult circumstances, would think that they had gone completely and utterly mad.
