Proceeding contribution from Betty Williams (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 14 December 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Afghanistan and the EU Council.
Afghanistan and the EU Council
I welcome my right hon. Friend's answer earlier about the plight of the south Pacific islands. We visited five of those islands—Fiji, Tuvalu, Vanuatu, Tonga and Kiribati—during the summer recess as part of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association. The Speaker of Tuvalu said to me, as I left for the plane, "Thank you so much for coming and for thinking about us. Please do not forget us." That is the message that I would like to give to my right hon. Friend as he goes to Copenhagen.
