Proceeding contribution from Lord Watson of Wyre Forest (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 14 October 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on UK Relations with Russia.


UK Relations with Russia

I agree with the thrust of the hon. Gentleman's argument this morning, but will he confirm that the President of Russia is actually President Medvedev, whom my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister has met on a number of occasions, including at the G20? Does he want my hon. Friend the Minister to reassure him that he will be actively engaging with all levels of the Russian Government, including talking about the Khodorkovsky case, which is an important legal test for the Russian Government with their international partners?
