Proceeding contribution from Lord Strathclyde (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 12 December 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.


European Council

My Lords, I am bound to say that I disagree with all of that. This was not about party but national interests. It was not about—what did he say?—playing to the worst aspects of the British character. That is quite wrong. This is the problem that noble Lords opposite find themselves in. Time and time again, they feel that agreeing with our European partners on everything will protect our long-term interests. We disagree.
