UK EUROPEAN COMMISSIONER

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.
