That announcement came after the u. K. Raised its Terror Threat level from substantial to severe in response to the isis threat in iraq and syria. His portion is 50 minutes. Prime minister. Thank you, mr. Speaker. With permission i would like to make a statement on this weekends European Council and on the measures were taking to defeat extremist and to keep our country safe. First, on the council we agreed that polands Prime Minister should serve as the next Council President and Italian Foreign minister should become the next high representative for foreign and security policy. It was made clear in the acceptance speech that he playses a high priority on addressing britains concerns over the e. U. I look forward to working with him in his new role. Mr. Speaker, the council spent most of its time focuses on the Big International issues that have concerned us all this summer, the situations in ukraine, gaza, and the growing threat of isil in iraq and syria. I want to discuss each. The presence of russian soldiers on ukrainian soil is completely unjustified and unacceptable. I met with the president before the council on saturday and with our support, he was invited to address the council. The real cause of this conflict is rushias refusal to recognition ukraines independence and sovereignty. Decisions on ukraines political and economic relationships should be for the people of ukraine, no one else. Russia appears to be trying to force ukraine to abandon its democrat choices at the barrel of a gun. In the last two weeks, we have seen a dramatic stepping up Russian Military support for the separatists in the Eastern Ukraine including Russian Troops fighting on the ground. Mr. Speaker, we know from european history the grave danger of a nation state being threatened and undermined in this way. So the European Council agrees that the economic costs it has already imposed on rushia must be stepped up if moscow persists with the indefensible actions. New sanction measures will be drawn up within a week. Mr. Speaker, i dont accept the suggestion that sanctions are not having an impact. Capital has flown out of rushia, banks are short of finance and the russian stock market and reboundle have fallen significantly. Mr. Speaker we have to show real resilience and resolve. Rushia needs to understand if it continues on the current path, then its relationship with the rest of the world will be radically different in the future. Turning to israel and gaza, we have all been deeply saddened by the violence we have seen and the dreadful civilian suffering its caused particularly to innocent people. The government has worked hard with our International Partners to help bring about a sustainable ceasefire. We warmly welcome the agreement reached in cairo. Mr. Speaker, the lost of life this summer has been trueling appalling and the number of civilian casualties completely unacceptable. The life of a palestinian child is world the same as a child of any one of our, but support of a lasting settlement that includes a palestinian state does not mean we should support the tactics of hamas who rained down rockets on israel and continually refused to accept ceasefires. We will continue to support israel and israels right to defend itself, but that does not mean we support every decision the Israeli Government takes, most recently the appropriation of nearly a thousand acres of land in the west bank near bethlehem is utterly deplorable. Its illegal under International Law and do nothing to create the kind of Peace Process we all want to see. We urge the Israeli Government to reverse this decision. Mr. Speaker, while i understand the many strong emotions around this tragic conflict, i am deeply concerned by growing reports of antisemitism on our own streets here in britain. Let me be clear, we must not tolerate this in our country. There can never be any excuse for antisemitism and no disagreements on politics or policy should be allowed to justify racism, prejudice or extremism in any form. Turning to the terrorist threat here in the u. K. , we have been shocked and sickened by the bar barism we witnessed in iraq in summer. The widespread slourt, the persecution of christian priorities, the enslavement and raping of women and the beheading of the american journal james foley with the voice of what seemed to be a british terrorist recorded on that video. The European Council conclusions could not be clearer and i quote. The European Council believes the creation of an islamic in iraq and syria and the export of terrorism on which it is based is a direct threat to every european country. On friday the independent joint Terrorism Analysis Center increased the threat level in the United Kingdom from you be stan to severe. We now believe that at least 500 people have traveled from britain to fight in the region. This is in addition to 700 from france, 400 from germany and hundreds more from countries including america, canada, austria, denmark, spain, sweden, the netherlands and switzerland. They crack down on those traveling to fight in syria and iraq and making sure that all European Countries are taking necessary steps to tackle this problem of radicalization. We should be clear about the root cause of this threat, a poisonous ideology of islamistic extremism which believes in using the most brutal forms of terrorism to force people to accept a what wered world view and live in a medieval state. We should be clear this has nothing to do with islam which is a religion peacefully observed and devoutly observed by over a billion people and one that inspires countless acts of kindness every day there is. To confront the presence of extremis, we need a tough, intelligent, patient, and comprehensive approach to defeat the terrorist threat at its source. We must use all the resources at our disposal, our aid, our diplomacy and our military. We need a Firm Security response with a military action to go after terrorists, International Corporation on intelligence or uncompromising action against terrorists at home. Britain has already providing equipment, directly to kurdish forces. We support u. S. Military air strikes against isil in iraq and we have secured United NationsSecurity Council resolution to disrupt the flows of finance to isil, to sanction those who are seeking to recruit to isil and to encourage countries to do all they can to prevent foreign fighters joining the extremist cause. Alongside a tough security response, there must also be the right political response. We know that terrorist organizations thrive whether its political instability and weak or dysfunctional institutions. So we must support the Building Blocks of free and open societies. In syria, it must mean a political transition and an end to asaads brutality which has allowed isil to flourish. In iraq, it must begin with a new and genuinely inclusive it government uniting all iraqis against the shared threat. The summit in wales this week will provide us an opportunity to look at the effectiveness of the response so far and discuss what more we should do to help the region overcome the isil threat. Britain will continue to consider what further role is in our National Interests including any further diplomatic, humanitarian, or indeed military measures we might take. Mr. Speaker, let me turn to how we address the terrorist threat at home. We have already taken a wide range of measures including stopping suspects from traveling to the region by seizing passports, barring foreign nationals from reentering the United Kingdom, legislating so that we can prosecute people for all terrorist activity even where that activity takes place overseas, and bringing forward emergency legislation to safeguard our use of communication data. We have stepped up our Operational Response with a fivefold response in iriarelated arrests, the removal of 28,000 pieces of extremist material from the internet this year alone including 46 isilrelated videos. I have said all along there should not be a knee jerk reaction or the introduction of sweeping new blanket powers that would ultimately be ineffective. That is not what those who worked so hard to keep us safe actually want. They want a targeted approach that reflects a for seven sick focus on the threat we face and that protects the operation of independence and decisionmaking. To achieve this there are two key areas where we need to strengthen our powers to fill gaps in our armory, around preventing suspects from traveling and dealing with those already here that pose a risk. I want to mention them both briefly. First, stopping people from traveling in the first place. Mr. Speaker, passports are not an automatic right. The secretary has the discretion to issue, revoke and refuse passports if there is reason to believe that people are planning to take part in terroristrelated activity. When Police Suspect a traveler at the border, theyre not able to apply for the prerogative and to only have limited stop and search powers. We will introduce targeted legislation to fill this gap by providing police a temporary power to seize the passport at the border and investigate the individual concerned. This will have safeguards and oversight arrangements. Mr. Speaker, the house should also be aware that our current Royal Prerogative powers are being challenged in the courts. I want to be clear. If there is any judgment that threatens the operation of our existing powers, we will introduce primary legislation immediately so that parliament, not the court, can determine whether it is right that we have this power. I can announce today that well start preparing the legislation and consult parliament. What is stopping people going, we must also keep out foreign fighters who would pose a threat to the u. K. We do have important powers to block return. We can deprive nationals of their citizenship to stop them returning. We can bar foreign nationals on the threat they pose. We legislate the immigration act to allow stronger powers to strip citizenship from naturalized britains. Those do not apply to those who are solely british nationals who could be rendered staysless. We should deal with this gap by criminalizing travel to certain countries or fundamentally changing our burden of proof. It would be wrong to deal with this gap by fundamentally changing core prisons approximatelies of our criminal justice system. It is abhorrent that people who declare allegiance elsewhere are able to return to the United Kingdom and pose a threat to the National Security. Were clear in principal, we need a targeted discretionary power to exclude british nationals from the u. K. And well work up proposals on this basis with our agencies in line with our International Obligations and discuss the details on a cross party basis. Mr. Speaker, were also putting on longstanding arrangements on Aviation Security around the world on a statutory footing. Airlines will have to comply with our nofly list arrangements, give us information on passenger lists and comply with our security screening requirements. If they do not do this, their flights will not be able to land in britain. Second, we need stronger powers to manage the risk posed by suspected extremists already here in the oclock u. K. The home exert can impose terrorist prevention and investigation measures on security grounds including overnight residence requirements and internet restrictions. The intelligence agencies and the Police Believe they need stronger powers to impose further restrictions and the independent reviewer of counterterrorism legislation, david anderson, agrees. So well introduce new powers to add to our existing terrorism prevention and investigation measures including stronger ocal constraints on suspects either through exclusions or through relocation powers. Mr. Speaker, dealing with this terrorist threat is not just about new powers, it is also about how we combat extremism in all its forms. That is why we have a new approach to tackling radicalization focusing on all types of extremism, not just violent extremism. This has included stopping the funding of organizations that promote extremis, banning hate preachers and ensuring that every part of government from schools and universities to prisons are all focused on beating the scouring of extremism. Putting a Deradicalization Program on a statutory footing. Anybody subject to the investigation measures will be required to engage with the prevent program. Mr. Speaker, we are proud to be an open, free, and tolerant nation. But that tolerance must never be confused with a passive acceptance of cultures living separate lives or people behaving in ways that run completely counter to our values. Adhering to British Values is not an option or choice. It is a duty for all those that live in these islands. We will stand up for our values. We will in the end defeat this extremism and we will secure our way of life for generations to come and i commend this statement to the house. Miliband. Mr. Speaker, i thank the Prime Minister for his statement. This summer of International Instability has demonstrated the need for britain to be engaged and build alliances across continents to tackle the problems the world is facing learning lessons from the past. Starting with the summit, the appointment of a new high representative and Council President which we welcome to commend the excellent work over the last five years. In particular in helping mediate kosovo and leading the efforts for iran to abandon its nuclear program. She has served with distangs. Turning to ukraine, before the summer, we are appalled by the shooting down of
