Wednesday on the british house of common, Prime Minister david cam ran gave a statement on the outcome of the g 7 summit in germany. Me took questions for members on combating isis, Climate Change efforts and the United States. This is about 1 10. Statement, the Prime Minister. Thank you, mr. Speaker. Id like to make a statement on the g7 in germany early this week. I went to the submit with two aids, two advance chick security and to protect our National Security. The two of course, are interlinked because you cannot have one without the other. And thats what i believe we made some progress on both. First on Economic Security we reached important agreements on trade, global property, green growth and corruption. On trade i was determined to put the trade deal which together could be worth 20 billion every year. Its over 700 days since we launched negotiations at the g. A. And every day without a deal is costing the Global Economy 630 million pounds. So the agreement talks about finalizing the outline of an agreement by the end of this year. Mr. Speaker, we want all countries to grow including forest. Not just for their benefit because we benefit from the wide increase in global growth. So we should never forget whats called the bottom billion. We should set ambitious goal and to rerad kate extreme poverty. Brighten is keeping its promises to the poorest in the world. And i encourage others to do the same. Turning to green growth there were important agreements about the global deal we hope to reach in paris at the owned the year. And emissions target to keep the gol of limiting Global Warming to 2 degrees within reach. And finding rules with Real Transparency so countries have to follow through on their commitments. So businesses have the confidence to invest in low carbon technology. More so reaffirm our strong commitment to the program to make sure they sign up to an agreement. Mr. Speaker, there was a new element i added to this g7 and that is fighting corruption. We met right after the fifa scandal. But the point i make is that corruption is not just wrecking an institution that is vital for football. Cutting corruption by 10 could benefit the zobal economy by 3780 billion every year. And corruption doesnt just threaten our pors perity, it undermines our security too. We should do to continue front this issue. With a 40strong team of investigators. We could shoot the 28 programs including anticorruption measures. But we need the full support of our nble partners of we have some progress in germany. We reaffirm our commitment between acts an tans parent si that i first put on the table two year ago. We work with the only c. D. And the g20 do finalize an International Plan from artificially shipping that across border to avoid taxes. And they will insure it is Tax Information. At the g7 urged to others to do that. Britains become the first major country in the world to accomplish a public central registry of who really ownser companies. They have to follow their own action plan a key step in countering money landering and corruption. Leaders will give special focus in the run up to the u. N. In september culminating with an anxious corruption submit. I reiterated our mission to tackle aisle. Mr. Speaker, in syria theres no greater recruiting sergeant for isil than a president who is at war against its own people. So we call for a u. N. Led to bring peace. In libya there is a new base from which to plot the attacks against European Countries while criminal gangs are entionploiting an open corridor to make a living for people smuggling. So we agreed to give our full back goo is u. N. Effort to bring a National Government in libya. And we agreed a comprehensive approach that are trafficking people stabilizing the country from which these people are coming and continuing to play our full path into the humane tarne mission. We picked up another 2,500 people over the weekend. Mr. Speaker, were stepping up our evidents to support nigeria. I met their president and discussed with president obama how question help tackle corruption and help nigeria against boko haram. We are offering significant help including training the Nigerian Army to defeat boko haram. Fighting these overseas is not just a moral obligation its the single most effective way in preventing diseases. So following the Ebola Outbreak it was right that the g7 devoted significant time to try to prevent the future global pandemic. At the submit u. K. Certainly and Development Fund focused on breakthrough medicines. Were leading by disaster and forming our own crack team of medics that can deploy rapidly to tackle infection outbreaks anywhere in the world. Learning from the slow response of ebola. Finally this was the second year running that we met at the g7 rather than a g8. President obama summed up the choice. He can continue russias isolation or he can recognize that russias greatness does not depend on violating the integrity ofory countries. The g7 was clear and unambiguous about his position. Their dramatic issues should restore integrity. And they must remain in place until they are fully implemented. We expect russia to stop separate forces and bring balance to an end. We were clear that we in a stand ready to take further restrictive measures in order to increase cost on russia should its acts so require. It also means action from ukraine. The president has the support needed. The u. K. Is helping through our Good Governance fund. But we should never forget that ukrainians are the victims and not the aggressors. With the deficit falling people can see that britain is back. Working for trade deals. Were fighting corruption. Leading a battle against poverty, disease and Climate Change. We are saving lives in the mediterranean and were standing firms against russias actions in the u. K. On every front theyre playing a leading role in security around the world. And delivering the Economic Security and the National Security of which our own future depends. And i commend this statement to the house. I particularly welcome the plan for nigeria. This is the second g7 summit where russia has been exclude. Its right that there should be consequences for what theyre doing in the ukraine and russia should be continued to be excluded until president putin changes course. And sanctions should remain. The sanctions should inspire by tend of july. He says he needs statement that the g7 stands ready to take further restrictive measures. Will he be arcing at the next e. U. Council for them to be strengthened. At the suck summit he said they should have an impact. More should be done to support those e. U. Member states. Can you tell the house what this could mean in practice . You refer to the statement in the fight against aisle. We see the horrors that theyre doing in missouri mosul. Its extremely frighteningening what theyre doing. We back the u. K. s contribution towards that effort and welcome the extra 125 military trainees being sent to iraq at the requested of the iraqi Prime Minister. As he said in his statement the Iraqi Government must be supportive in their effort to push back aisles attack and security across the country. Theres no need for further accelerating the equiping and training of iraqi forces. So come on out if britain is continuing to impress the Iraqi Government to do more to reach out to sunni tribes who are key to this. In discussion, can the Prime Minister confirm whether he sought specific assurances from president obama that are n. H. S. Will be protected on Climate Change can the Prime Minister clarify whether the commitment to a global goal of greenhouse emissions production will be legally binding . But mr. Speaker most of the press coverage was not about the Global Economy Climate Change or isil. It is about the tourist rally in europe. This is entirely of the Prime Minister own doing. On some day he went to germany boasting to journalists that he would sit any cabinet minister who didnt toe the line on the referendum. On monday a loyal minister was dispatched to the today program to drive home the ministers top line. But later that day he sounded the retreat. The traveling press had apparently misheard not so much collective responsibility for the cabinet but sometimes it happened on the flight, your ears get blocked. But the Prime Minister graciously and kindly said to them if youre not certain about something i said just ask. How grateful i am for that new approach. There are things that people are still uncertain about. So can i ask him . What are his reform proposals an his red line. Can he say whether when hes finishing negotiating and he comes back arguing for a yes vote will he sit down ministers who dont agree with him or will he agree where the mayor of london when he said theyre in charge . Will the quiet man be here to stay or will he be allowed the turn up the volume . Mr. Speaker yet again another International Summit has ended in the usual way a Prime Minister fighting with his own party on europe. I enjoyed the last bit back to the old punching judy. The premise that all has happened with journalist on the plane and not being able to appear. Next time she might want to get the details straight there were no journalists on the plane. Im very grateful for her backing the sanctions. The same there will be a full rule of the sanctions. More sanctions would be produced i believe if russia took further aggressive action. We hope that doesnt happen but russia needs to know there would be costs were that to happen. In terms of helping other e. U. States, i think we need to be cautious here. The fact is putting the place sanctions damaging European Countries. Britain itself faces some damage from that. But our arlington should be our argument should be that it is our collective and individual interest has the rules base system of our world continues to work and that russia doesnt violate that. I think we should make that argument first. I thank her for her support in our campaign of isil in iraq. Shoast absolutely right. This is being driven by the Iraqi Government and the problems are by inclusive governments that can respect all of their people. Im grateful for the support for the extra 125 personnel that we sent. She asked if iraq kneads to do more to reach out to the sunni tribes to train more of the Security Forces. Shes right on both of those. That needs to happen. On the issue of tea tip, the argument i would make is that the n. H. S. Is protected. There is no way that an agreement can lead to changes in our n. H. S. I would make this stougs the labor Party Suggestion to the labor party. Instead of raising a threat that doesnt exist. It would be better if the political system can push the americans instead of trying to seek false reainsurances to go further to put more on the table so the trade deal really benefits people here in britain. Our view is it should be legally binding and that is what we are pressing for. The language in the communique is progress. And i think america is pitching into these arguments but of course we would like them to go further. I think weve dealt with all the european stuff in the questions. But i make this point. Lift our eyes to the horizon and recognize frankly she says its back to the usual service of the 1990s. Theres something very different and this government compared to the government in the 1990s either of labor persuasion is that we have made the decision to let the people decide when it comes to europe. Speaker, im pleased to hear from the Prime Minister at the time of g7 as a humanitarian tragedy where huge numbers of people are drowning trying to flee conditions in their own country. I agree with them that the longterm solution is Development Add in the countries of which they come. But it was the discussion of an International Diplomatic effort and Technical Support to the government of the failed state in libya which remain as lawless space through which huge numbers of people will continue to come unless and until some sort of stability is restored to the country. My friend is absolutely right to identify the core part of the problem that needs to be solved quite urgently and that is to have a government of national liberty. We do offer Technical Assistance border security, training of libyans but until theres a government in place they dont really join up and make a comprehensive strategy. What we talked about at the g7 is to make sure they are doing everything that can to support the special representative. Once thats done we can pour in the a assistance to secure their borders. May i begin by thanking the Prime Minister for his statement. Theres much in the communique to be commended. We are committed to the values of freedom and democracy and respect of human rights. We will be supporting human rights by protecting the human rights acts in the weeks and months ahead. Also in the communique there are paragraphs on the Global Economy and growth and on the womens entrepreneurship. On tax and anticorruption measures, im sure he would like to give a statement to fifa. On the issue of trade the communique welcomes programs on the terms of investment partnership. But the Prime Minister will also be aware of concerns about the potential and impact on the Public Service provision on the National Health service. What safeguards do they highlight as u. K. Requirements to protect them. We heard him say that there is no reason for concern. If theres no reason to concern i see that a good prospect with those safeguards be included in any final deal. Why did he not secure that on the face of the treaty . On Foreign Policy i agree with the g7 conclusion in relation to the territory and the need to however, i would wish to warn of the rest of the situation in Eastern Ukraine becoming a frozen conflict. Anybody with what is what is happening in Eastern Europe since the fall of the iron curtain will be aware of whats happened from and, of course, bosniaherzegovina and while the immediacy of the situation is action there also needs to be immediate and longterm perspective for normalization. May i welcome the provisions regarding maritime border and Maritime Security . This is relevant to the pacific of course. Is also relevant in our Northern European neighborhood. And then i encourage uk government to actually t
