PM must address energy security in Lord Mayor's speech
STEPHEN TWIGG, Director of the Foreign Policy Centre today said:
"The Prime Minister, Tony Blair must address one of the most pressing concerns in foreign policy – Britain's energy security when he makes his annual speech to the Lord Mayor's banquet tomorrow.
"At a time of high oil prices, with massive demand on our dwindling supplies from rising powers such as India and China, the world's energy security is one of the most pressing challenges for collective foreign policy. Britain is increasingly reliant on oil and gas resources which are primarily sourced from areas of the world which are politically unstable and from regimes which do not respect human rights or international law."
