HL Deb 21 July 1995 vol 566 c61WA
Lord Rankeillour

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether Mr. Douglas Hurd, when Foreign Secretary, was correctly reported as saying "Britain has no allies in Europe", and if so what he meant.

Baroness Chalker of Wallasey

I have consulted my right honourable friend the Member for Witney (Mr. Hurd). He has no recollection of making any such statement.
