Mr Andrew Turner
Will my right hon. Friend assist me by saying whether Iceland, for instance, should be encouraged to join?
Damian Green
Iceland is not a member of the European Union. If Iceland wished to sign some kind of deal with the European Union, I assume that it would be open to Iceland to do so, but I have seen no sign that it does. It is not within the purview of this House to dictate to the Icelandic Government and people what they should do. I imagine that they want to keep their streets safe as well.
