Proceeding contribution from Baroness Billingham (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 17 December 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council: 14 December 2007.


European Council: 14 December 2007

My Lords, I thank my noble friend for her presentation of the Statement, in which she mentioned the deliberations during the weekend on Burma. For many of us, the commitment to resolve the problem seems long overdue. Today, there is even more information in the national press that gives us great cause for concern. How much urgency was given to those deliberations? What further outcome does she expect and hope to see in the short term, rather than the long term?
