G8: 2005 Summit

My Lords, I apologise again. I was not aware that the G8 conclusions had not been made available. The system has clearly broken down in some way, and I shall investigate and ensure that it does not happen in future. The noble Lord, Lord Hannay, is right—we have always seen this as a process. We did not see the Commission for Africa, or indeed the G8 Summit, as an end in itself. We saw 2005 as important not only because we held the G8 and EU presidencies, but because you have the major millennium review summit in New York in September, followed by the meeting on trade in Hong Kong. There is a wider agenda for the UN summit that includes not only security and development, but UN reform. We will work with our European Union partners, G8 partners and the Secretary-General of the UN—he was at the summit, of course—to ensure that the agreements coming out of the summit feed into that wider agenda in September. On the issue of non-proliferation, I will write to the noble Lord, Lord Hannay. I did not see that in the conclusions, but I may have missed it.
