Editorial comments: Time and place unknown. ITN indexes record MT commenting that Britain was "no slouch" ("UK second biggest net contributor to EC and so pulling weight", as the index condenses her remarks). BBC indexes summarise her remarks as she left a building (probably when the summit itself broke up at 2000 local time): "they are standing firm and will not agree to increase in budget unless strict financial discipline" (broadcast BBC TV News at 2100).
