Proceeding contribution from Lord Cameron of Chipping Norton (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 27 June 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.

European Council

I thank my hon. Friend for his question. As I said in my statement, so often at European Councils the Commission comes along with a list of things that countries should do, but does not ask enough, ““What can we, the Commission, do to encourage deregulation and growth?”” From 1998 to 2010, I think that 69% of new regulations came from Brussels. Clearly, Brussels needs to play its part in trying to exempt small businesses from at least some of those regulations. I shall keep pushing this agenda and I find growing support for it around the table at the Council of Ministers.
