Proceeding contribution from Lord Bannside (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Lords on Monday, 17 January 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Tunisia.


Tunisia

My Lords, I am sure that we are glad of the Statement that we heard from the Minister tonight. However, I will stress one matter. Why did this come as a terrible surprise to the people in this area? Were the Government not aware that the matter was underneath the surface? We welcome the European part of the question. That must be worked on, because we need strong resistance to what has taken place, and strong assistance to those who will help to put it right.
