Proceeding contribution from Chris Bryant (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 17 March 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.


European Council

The Prime Minister rightly referred to the need to co-ordinate energy security across Europe, but, if the climate change scientists are right, it seems likely that in the next few years lack of access to drinking water in north Africa will lead to dramatic changes in patterns of migration into Europe. In the past, that danger has tended to interest only the Mediterranean members of the European Union. Does the Prime Minister agree that it is now vital that the whole European Union take it seriously?
