Proceeding contribution from Sadiq Khan (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 24 May 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka

I congratulate my hon. Friend on securing such an important and worthy debate. I have also heard reports from the Sri Lankan diaspora in my community—the Tamil diaspora—of the intimidation and harassment of NGO workers. The White Pigeon charity in my constituency and the Tamil Rehabilitation Organisation in Sri Lanka have complained especially about the recent kidnapping of workers. When my hon. Friend was in Sri Lanka, did he get the chance to speak to NGO workers and find out from them whether they were being intimidated in the work that they were doing?
