Proceeding contribution from Lord Cameron of Chipping Norton (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 12 December 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on EU Council.
EU Council
Year after year, Ministers have had to stand at this Dispatch Box and apologise as the EU budget has gone up by 3%, 4%, 5% or more, because it is decided by qualified majority voting. I put together a qualified majority bloc so that we could get a real-terms freeze in the budget. There was help from Germany, France, Sweden and Holland. That is exactly the sort of constructive role that we play.
