More quotes by William Hague
I'm going to reduce the size of the Cabinet, cut the number of ministers, reduce the size of the House of Commons, campaign for a European Parliament with 100 fewer members, halve the number of political advisers, and abolish a huge swathe of Labour's regional bureaucracies - and agencies and their offices in Brussels.

William Hague
I gave up lots of things I love doing: writing, and business, and playing the piano and so on.
William Hague
How long do Syrian families have to live in fear that their children will be killed or tortured, before the Security Council will act? How many people need to die before the consciences of world capitals are stirred?
William Hague
When you reduce taxes on higher earners it's vital to be reducing them on lower earning people as well so the nation shares in the approach.
William Hague
Iran's continued, widespread persecution of ethnic minorities, human rights defenders and political prisoners is a disgrace and stands as a shameful indictment of Iran's leaders.
William Hague
On the question of taking credit for what goes right and blame for what goes wrong - having led the Conservative party for four years, I have never heard of this notion before.
William Hague
It's not too late to stop the Lisbon Treaty.
William Hague
