EU veto: Cameron says he negotiated in 'good faith'
avid Cameron has said he "genuinely looked to reach an agreement" at the EU summit but vetoed treaty change because it was not in the national interest.
Mr Cameron told MPs he negotiated in "good faith" and his demands were "modest, reasonable and relevant".
The prime minister said he used the veto as he did not secure "sufficient safeguards" on financial regulation.
There is no sign of his pro-European Deputy PM Nick Clegg, who usually sits alongside the PM in the Commons.
Labour leader Ed Miliband questioned why Mr Clegg was not in the Commons, saying the PM could "not even persuade" his deputy of the merits of his actions.
BBC Political Editor Nick Robinson said he had been told Mr Clegg - who said on Sunday the result "was bad for Britain" - had decided that his presence in the Chamber would be a distraction.
