Proceeding contribution from Lord Kerr of Kinlochard (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 12 December 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.
European Council
May I ask one question of tactics? I am grateful to the noble Lord. Will he confirm that, exactly 20 years ago, John Major secured the social opt-out and the euro opt-out by attaching his conditions to the conclusion of the negotiation, where unanimity is required, and not to the convening of a negotiation, for which only a simple majority is required?
