§ Lord Pearson of Rannochasked Her Majesty's Government:
Further to the Written Answer by the Baroness Scotland of Asthal on 30 April (WA 243), when the continent of Europe was last in the condition of "unification" implied by the Foreign Secretary when he referred to "the reunification of Europe" in his Explanatory Memorandum on the Treaty of Nice. [HL2098]
§ Baroness Ramsay of CartvaleI refer the noble Lord to the answer my noble friend Baroness Scotland of Asthal gave him on 30 April (Official Report col. WA 243) that Europe has been divided for generations by wars and the Iron Curtain. Enlargement is an historic opportunity to end that division and entrench peace, stability, free markets and democracy across our continent.
