By Jason Groves for the Daily Mail David Cameron has nominated Lord Hill of Oareford, pictured, as Britain's next European Commissioner Brussels chief Jean-Claude Juncker was accused of behaving like a dictator last night after warning he would snub David Cameron for not sending a woman to represent Britain in the EU. Mr Juncker indicated Britain could expect a lowly European Commission post because of the Prime Minister’s nomination of Lord Hill of Oareford. Sources said the incoming commission president, opposed by Mr Cameron, had repeatedly told countries he wanted to improve the gender balance of his top team. Downing Street yesterday rejected the call, saying Lord Hill would be an ‘excellent commissioner’.
