Baroness Chapman of Darlington (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 3 December 2024

Debate

Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe

Contribution

I am sure that the leader of our delegation, the noble Lord, Lord Touhig, was listening closely to what the noble Baroness said. To remind noble Lords, the Council of Europe came out of the Second World War. The founding of the institution was led by Churchill and Bevin. We are very proud to be members of it, and the priority that it places on the rule of law and securing human rights is something that we can justifiably be proud of.
