Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Weatherill (Crossbench). It was answered on Wednesday, 12 October 2005.
South Asia Earthquake
- Question
- My Lords, I think that I may be one of the few Members of your Lordships’ House to have visited the part of Pakistan affected. The infrastructure, as the House well knows, is very difficult indeed. Is the Minister prepared from the Dispatch Box to applaud the mosques of the United Kingdom, which have been so generous in sending aid and people to Pakistan at this time, notably in my former constituency of Croydon?
- Answer
-
My Lords, we must applaud the efforts of all who have contributed not only to the DEC but to individual NGOs, and that includes the Pakistani and Indian communities in the United Kingdom.
