Proceeding contribution from Ian Mearns (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 27 October 2011. It occurred during Debate on Council of Europe (UK Chairmanship).
Council of Europe (UK Chairmanship)
I want to correct a possible misapprehension. As well as the 10% and 17% overall cuts already mentioned, for the last eight years the COE has had a nil increase in its budget, which is, in effect, a cut. The effects of these cuts are ongoing, and the COE is trying to work within the financial restrictions. In fact, one of the new secretary-general's priorities is to deliver these cuts, and he has the support of all political parties in Strasbourg.
