European Union (Amendment) Bill

The hon. Gentleman mentions Africa. Will he condemn the fact that of 53 African nations, 23 no longer have any form of professional British diplomatic representation? That has a real impact on the welfare of British citizens. For instance, the lack of an embassy in Equatorial Guinea has an impact on the case of Mr. Simon Mann. Will the hon. Gentleman also condemn the fact that, prior to the treaty's ratification, the European Union has set up its first embassy—so-called—in Addis Ababa in Ethiopia?
