Proceeding contribution from Baroness Symons of Vernham Dean (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 17 November 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on World Leaders Summit.


World Leaders Summit

My Lords, I have been travelling fairly extensively in the Middle East over the past five weeks or so, and in that time I have consistently heard, not only from political leaders but from a wide range of business people, about the admiration they have for the leadership offered by my right honourable friend the Prime Minister. Noble Lords opposite may not like that, but it happens to be true. Does my noble friend think that the statement that came out of the G20 summit not only demonstrates the Prime Minister’s prescience 10 years ago but his consistency in advocating something that is now recognised as being in the world’s interest?
