Proceeding contribution from Phyllis Starkey (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 5 February 2009. It occurred during Topical debate on Sri Lanka.


Sri Lanka

My hon. Friend has described the climate of fear that exists throughout Sri Lanka. Has he impressed on the Sri Lankan Government the fact that they should not simply label every Tamil voice a white tiger and refuse to have a dialogue with them? The Government must engage with the more moderate parts of the Tamil community, in Sri Lanka and internationally.
