Douglas Alexander MP, Labour’s Shadow Foreign Secretary, commenting on the report from the House of Lords EU Select Committee, said:

“This critical House of Lords report adds to the growing chorus of concern over this government’s approach to the Ukraine crisis specifically and foreign affairs more generally.

“David Cameron has been responsible for the biggest loss of British influence in Europe for a generation, and this Lords Committee highlights some of the worrying consequences of his approach.

“As the crisis in Ukraine continues, it is vital that the EU maintain a united approach, and that the UK government play its part in helping find a diplomatic resolution to the conflict.”
