Proceeding contribution from Lord Lamont of Lerwick (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 24 October 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.
European Council
My Lords, will the Leader of the House possibly correct the attempts of the noble Baroness, Lady Royall, to rewrite history? Will he perhaps remind her that the decisions on which countries joined the euro, and at which parities, were made well before the 1997 election? At that time, the decision by the Conservative Government not to join the euro was severely criticised by both John Smith and Gordon Brown.
