Proceeding contribution from Keith Vaz (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 14 May 2009. It occurred during Topical debate on Sri Lanka.


Sri Lanka

My hon. Friend mentioned the Foreign Secretary's excellent statement in New York. Is there any truth to the rumour, or, indeed, is it a fact, that Russia and China are still blocking Britain's efforts to bring the issue to the United Nations Security Council? Have the Government made an effort to place a resolution calling for a ceasefire on the agenda of the Security Council? Yes or no?
