Proceeding contribution from Lord Strathclyde (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 31 January 2012. It occurred during Ministerial statement on EU Council.


EU Council

Very much so, my Lords. We want to see the completion of a single market and the digital economy. It is not arrogant to say that the United Kingdom has been at the forefront of the growth agenda. It is Britain that has been pointing out the dangers of overcentralisation, overbureaucratising, and overexpensive institutions that militate against the interests of the free market that will in the long term provide the jobs we need, not just in this country but throughout Europe.
