MAYOR OF LONDON AND VENEZUELAN OIL

Early day motion 931, tabled 21 February 2007 by Greg Hands (Conservative). Signed by 6 members.

That this House notes with grave concern the agreement between the Mayor of London and the Venezuelan government to allow the transfer of discounted oil for use in London; questions the need for London to receive aid from a developing country; further notes the many allegations of corruption made against Venezuela's state-owned oil company and questions the motivation behind such a deal; and urges the Mayor to focus on the problems facing London, not adventurist foreign policy initiatives.

Signatures by party: Conservative 5, Liberal Democrat 1.
