Boris Johnson
My right hon. Friend is absolutely right. The relationship between Britain and France is of huge and historic importance, and it has been intensifying over recent years, particularly in the sphere of defence and security co-operation, following the Lancaster House agreement. I hope he will be pleased by some of the developments and announcements that we will be making on 18 January.

Boris Johnson
As I am sure the hon. Gentleman knows, we believe this case to be without merit and will continue to contest it.
