Proceeding contribution from Tony Baldry (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 1 February 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on East Asia.


East Asia

The hon. Gentleman is making an excellent speech. Returning to his point about oil, is there not another dimension to this? Many of us are concerned about the fact that China purchases so much of Sudan’s oil output. Those of us who have had the misfortune to visit Darfur have come away concluding that the Sudanese Government feel that they can do pretty much whatever they want in Darfur, knowing that the Chinese Government will veto any UN resolution in the Security Council condemning the Sudanese Government.
