Proceeding contribution from John Howell (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 18 December 2017. It occurred during e-petition debate on Enslavement of Black Africans (Libya).
Enslavement of Black Africans (Libya)
My hon. Friend is making an excellent speech. He mentioned Nigeria; when I visited it as the Prime Minister’s trade envoy, I had a discussion about this problem. We all agreed that if we did not help to get sub-Saharan Africa right, the catastrophe waiting to happen in Europe would be colossal, as more and more Nigerians put themselves in the hands of unscrupulous traffickers on the way to Libya and the Mediterranean coast. Does he agree that that is a realistic view of the situation?
