MAYOR OF LONDON AND VENEZUELAN OIL

Tabled by Greg Hands (Conservative) 6 signatures

The motion

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.
