Proceeding contribution from David Drew (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 15 December 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on EU Council/Afghanistan, India and Pakistan.


EU Council/Afghanistan, India and Pakistan

My right hon. Friend is absolutely right to ignore the siren voices who are opposing reflationary measures at this time. In talking about the Germans—or some of them—may I say how disappointed some of us are to hear that they were against a number of the measures relating to further developments on climate change? That is a marked departure from their previous record. Would my right hon. Friend like to say to them that we would like them to be where they were previously, on both economic policy and environmental policy?
