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 thank my right hon. Friend for organising a meeting last week with the Prime Minister and the Foreign Secretary, in which these matters were raised. Does she agree that now is the time for the Government to appoint an envoy to succeed the current Secretary of State for Wales, who did the job extremely well? It is important that we send out a signal and the appointment of an envoy is one way of doing so.
