Proceeding contribution from Keith Vaz (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 7 February 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on EU Council and North Africa.


EU Council and North Africa

Were there any discussions at the European Council concerning Yemen? The Prime Minister will be aware of how important that country is in the fight against terrorism, and of the excellent talks between the Foreign Secretary and the Yemeni Foreign Secretary last week. Is the Prime Minister satisfied with the package of measures put forward by President Ali Abdullah Saleh? Is not the stability of Yemen absolutely vital in the area? If the Yemeni Government fall, al-Qaeda will be the winner.
