Business question from Marsha Singh (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 24 November 2005. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

Will my right hon. Friend find time to debate the south Asian earthquake disaster, which The Independent described today as ““the forgotten disaster””? I am proud and pleased about the response of the Department for International Development and the British Government, but 100,000 people could die during the winter. Tents and shelters are still needed, and 2.3 million people will need food. In my constituency, concern is growing, especially among my constituents with Kashmiri or Pakistani backgrounds, that too little is being done too late. Will my right hon. Friend find time for that debate?
