Proceeding contribution from Lord Anderson of Swansea (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 21 January 2010. It occurred during Private notice question on Counterterrorism: Foreign Office Budget.


Counterterrorism: Foreign Office Budget

Does my noble friend recognise the danger that our foreign administration will be determined by currency fluctuations and not by a sober reassessment of our global role in the post-imperial world? I met our consul-general shortly before he was killed by an explosion in Istanbul. Can my noble friend reassure me that the current cuts do not affect the protection of our diplomatic personnel and buildings?
