Mr. Waldegrave

Due to unavoidable parliamentary business, I am unable to attend the opening plenary session of the Munich conference. The deputy head of the United Kingdom delegation, Dr. Martin Holdgate, will therefore deliver the opening speech on my behalf. Copies of the text of his speech have been placed in the Library.
