BBC News - HARDtalk, Lord Lawson

HARDtalk meets Lord Lawson, whose recent comments on the EU have divided the Tory party.

HardTalk speaks to former Chancellor, Lord Lawson. His recent interventions have embarrassed David Cameron and deepened impressions of a divided Tory party. So, why did he do it?

That Britain's Conservative Party is deeply sceptical about the European Union isn't news. What is novel is the readiness of some of the party's grandest grandees to call for a British exit. Stephen Sackur talks to Lord Lawson, Margaret Thatcher's former Chancellor, who recently labelled the EU a bureaucratic monstrosity, past its sell-by-date. His intervention embarrassed prime minister David Cameron and deepened the impression of a Tory party dangerously divided. So, why did he do it?
