Proceeding contribution from Lord Cameron of Chipping Norton (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 14 March 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Japan and the Middle East.


Japan and the Middle East

We did discuss the wider region. The country that is probably of the most concern at the moment is Yemen, which the right hon. Gentleman often raises in this House. Again, it is clearly in our interests that the Yemeni Government respond with reform rather than repression. Yemen is a particularly special case because of the great presence of al-Qaeda and our need to encourage its Government to take on the terrorism in their country. The situation is obviously extremely difficult and we keep it under permanent review, not least to ensure that we keep safe the British citizens who are there.
