Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Corbyn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 19 June 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.
European Council
In the discussions about migration policy, did the Prime Minister or any of the other leaders discuss the plight of very poor people from west Africa, hundreds of whom have died trying to cross from west Africa to the Canary islands or to the Mediterranean, or those hard-working people who lead a twilight existence in every major city in Europe but none the less contribute to the economic well-being of us all? Will the European Union take a humanitarian view and do its best to assist poverty alleviation in west Africa?
