Current Affairs Geoff Hoon - everyone has to compromise for EU budget deal to work
One of the most senior members of the British government, Lord Privy Seal and Leader of the House of Commons Geoff Hoon, is in Prague at the moment at the invitation of Prime Minister Jiri Paroubek and the ruling Social Democrats. Mr Hoon, former UK Defence Secretary, has been speaking to the party about how they can learn from the experiences of the British Labour Party, which has undergone great change in recent years. But his visit also comes at a time when the British Prime Minister Tony Blair tries to persuade new EU members to accept a deal on the EU's budget.
