Proceeding contribution from Jack Straw (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 13 December 2011. It occurred during Legislative debate on Prevention of Nuclear Proliferation.


Prevention of Nuclear Proliferation

May I, as one of the three Foreign Ministers who got the arrangement going in the middle of 2003, underline the hon. Gentleman's point about the E3? There were two huge advantages. One was that we were not the United States, although we consulted them, and the second was that because France, Germany and the UK were working together, each of us could reach out to a series of other allies. We did not just get three rather large countries on board but many others, too.
