Question to the Prime Minister on the European Council

Peter Dowd (Bootle) (Lab): On the Prime Minister’s elliptical statement on renegotiation, what particular regulations and red tape does he envisage need be cut to ensure enhanced competitiveness, as he is in danger of sounding a bit vague and of outlining more of a wish list than a to-do list?

The Prime Minister: It is both a wish list—it is things we want—and a to-do list, because we are going to do them.
