Proceeding contribution from Julian Lewis (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 14 May 2008. It occurred during Opposition day on Burma.


Burma

Although this was not made entirely clear when the subject came up at Prime Minister's Question Time, my understanding is that before the tragedy in China, China and Russia were the two countries at the United Nations standing in the way of UN action to force the Burmese Government to give better access. In the light of the second tragedy—the one that has hit China—is there any prospect of a renewed effort to mobilise the United Nations being more successful?
