UK European Commissioner
EDM number 1774 in 2008-09, proposed by Nigel Evans on 30/06/2009.
Categorised under the topic of European Commission.
That this House believes that the post of UK European Commissioner should be offered to the best candidate regardless of sex, race or religion; recognises that the appointment is a matter for HM Government and should not be subject to interference from unelected officials in Brussels; notes that the portfolios of European commissioners should be allocated according to the talents, skills and strengths of each individual commissioner; and calls on the Government to act in the best interests of the British people and not those of the President of the European Commission.
This motion has been signed by a total of 16 MPs.
