European Parliament
President.
– The House learnt with great sadness of the death last weekend of Roy Jenkins, a distinguished political leader, and a former Minister in the United Kingdom. The House will recall his four years as President of the European Commission. During his stewardship he launched the European Monetary System, the forerunner of the single currency. He was an outstanding and committed European and statesman, and I invite the House to observe one minute's silence in his memory.
(The House rose and observed one minute's silence)
