Proceeding contribution from David Miliband (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 5 March 2012. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.


European Council

May I welcome what the Prime Minister said about the developments in the western Balkans? However, I wonder whether he agrees that the most significant piece of economic news last week was the decision of the Spanish Government to amend their austerity programme in the face of stagnation and recession. The Prime Minister of Spain said he thought that when circumstances changed, policy should change. Is that not the kind of common sense that we need here?
