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


Burma

Is it not a scandal that in the midst of this crisis the Burmese regime proceeded with its sham referendum? Does my hon. Friend agree that it was a sham referendum, a sham consultative process, and not the kind of action that will build the democratic civil society that Burma needs if it is to be able to deal with the problem it currently faces, and its other underlying problems over the long term?
