§ Mr. Charles WardleMy right hon. and learned Friend attended the European conference on uncontrolled migration in Budapest on 15 and 16 February, which approved a series of recommendations for tackling illegal immigration from and through central and eastern Europe. I have placed a copy of the agreed document in the Library of the House. The conference also agreed, among other things, that an informal working party drawn from a small group of participating states should be established to monitor implementation of the recommendations and in particular to carry forward work on promoting readmission agreements.
