Sri Lanka

I congratulate the hon. Member for Edmonton (Mr. Love) on obtaining the debate and thank him for his great companionship on the trip. I support what he says about those unfortunate people in Puttalam. Frankly, their plight shocked me to the core. One of our objectives was to get the British Government to raise the matter in a slightly more active way. I recognise that Ministers are aware of the situation and are compassionate about it, but I make a plea to extend those efforts and to raise the profile of those people, who have been forgotten in relation to the tsunami, the troubles and so on. Does he agree that that would help?
