Proceeding contribution from Malcolm Rifkind (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 11 June 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on G8 Summit.

G8 Summit

Does the Prime Minister agree that the recent spat between Russia and the west has little to do with the merits of missile defence and everything to do with the sensitivity that the Russians feel about how they believe they have been treated by the west over the past 15 years? Will the Prime Minister use such influence as remains to him so that on those matters, and only those matters, on which there is a legitimate joint interest—missile defence is one—the United States does not merely inform Russia of its intentions but tries to treat it as a partner in future policy?
