Proceeding contribution from Douglas Alexander (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 14 May 2008. It occurred during Opposition day on Burma.


Burma

I think the hon. Gentleman doth protest too much. It is for him to account for the disparity between the position that he set out today and what was said by his party leader on ““The World at One””. These are serious issues, which is why I am keen for an approach to be adopted that is clearly set out to the regime in Burma, and why it is important not to retain the kind of inconsistency that still haunts the Conservative party. Has the deadline for responsibility to protect passed, or has it not?
