European Commission: Portfolios

Lord Low of Dalston Excerpts

Wednesday 2nd July 2014 Lords Chamber

[Lord Low of Dalston (CB)]

My Lords, can the noble Baroness say whether she thinks it would be useful for Prime Ministers to receive training in recruitment, diplomacy and negotiation skills?

[Baroness Warsi]

I understand the point that the noble Lord is trying to make. However, we all have to accept that the Prime Minister stood up for UK interests and was responsive to what we all heard—or should have heard—at the recent European elections, which is that the people of the European Union, across the European Union, want change.
