Oral answer to question provided on Thursday, 15 June 2006 in the House of Lords, by Lord Triesman (Labour).


Nepal

Answer

My Lords, that is an absolutely accurate observation. India has the greatest influence in Nepal, although of course other international interlocutors are involved as well. We have been in discussion with the Government of India. I believe that they share precisely the objective of seeing early elections, a solid constitutional platform and then a definition of the long-term role of the monarchy.
