Proceeding contribution from Keith Vaz (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 5 February 2009. It occurred during Topical debate on Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka
I welcome the bipartisan approach that is being taken here today. That is different from the debates that we have had in the past. Does the hon. Gentleman agree that this is a matter not only of achieving a ceasefire, but of commencing a peace process immediately afterwards? Does he also agree that Britain has an important role to play, as we have in the past, in ensuring that the peace talks get going as quickly as possible?
