Proceeding contribution from Lord Cameron of Chipping Norton (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 5 March 2012. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.


European Council

I am grateful to my hon. Friend. Most of the measures in paragraph 15 were not in the original draft of the communiqué. What was decisive was that it was not just the usual suspects, such as the Swedes, the Danes, the Dutch and the British, coming forward with the agenda; we also had support from the Italian and Spanish Prime Ministers, who have not always championed this agenda, but who now see that it is vital for European growth.
