CFI- Annual Business Lunch 2008

Conservative Friends of Israel Annual Business Lunch 2008

This year the Conservative Friends of Israel Annual Business Lunch took place at the Dorchester Hotel. The event was attended by over 400 Business people and over 100 Conservative MPs, Lords and Parliamentary Candidates.

Key note speakers at this year’s lunch were the Rt Hon William Hague MP, Shadow Foreign Secretary and George Osborne MP, Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer. The two MPs took part in a panel discussion with Times lead writer Danny Finklestein.

The Rt Hon William Hague MP
On Iran:

"The Ambassador was just talking about Iran. The Government say they're very worried about Iran but I think – and certainly Israeli Government Ministers have agreed with this assessment – the Conservative Party has been at the forefront in the whole of Europe in stating the case about the worries of Iran and about the need for Europe to carry a bigger stick in relation to Iran and follow the United States in financial sanctions before the Americans can offer some more carrots. And so we would have liked to have seen a more energetic approach by the current Government and we are critical of them. Gordon Brown announces sanctions on Iranian oil and gas last November, announces it again last week and nothing has taken place – absolutely nothing."
