		<description><![CDATA[The Prime Minister today made a spirited defence of the Government&#8217;s position following the European Council meeting, in the face of ridiculous pantomime behaviour by Labour. I was glad to be called to ask a question, in which I brought to the Prime Minister&#8217;s attention the Initiative for a Free and Prospering Europe, launched yesterday: ]]></description>
