Obviously a Conservative government will always leave taxes lower than they have been under Labour. Those things go with the territory of the Conservative Party.
William Hague
We are not directly involved in Syria. But we will be working with our partners in the European Union and at the United Nations to see if we can persuade the Syrian authorities to go, as I say, more in that direction of respect for democracy and human rights.
William Hague
Gordon Brown promised to abolish boom and bust. He has kept half his promise.
William Hague
There's only one growth strategy: work hard.
William Hague
There is no budget for travel for a Shadow Foreign Secretary.
William Hague
I don't think a wise thing at this moment is for Israel to launch a military attack on Iran.
William Hague
We hope that the long darkness through which the Burmese people have lived may now be coming to an end.
William Hague
