Proceeding contribution from Nicholas Winterton (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 30 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on Africa.

I refer particularly to Namibia, where in respect of both uranium and diamonds—it is a big producer of the latter—the companies involved have made positive and helpful arrangements with the Government.
