Proceeding contribution from Chris Mullin (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 6 November 2008. It occurred during Topical debate on Democratic Republic of the Congo.


Democratic Republic of the Congo

With the best will in the world—not always present in the Congo—there is no way that the Congolese armed forces will be in a position to enforce the rule of law in the east. What is needed in the short term at least, and probably in the medium term, is to reinforce MONUC, which Alan Doss has requested since early October. Failing that, mounting the sort of operation suggested by the French, involving an EU force, could be suggested. What is our position on both those matters?
