Proceeding contribution from Rory Stewart (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 29 June 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Africa and the Middle East.


Africa and the Middle East

Egypt is clearly far more important to regional stability than Tunisia, but it is a place where, because of its scale, British influence is likely to be quite limited. Tunisia, however, is a place where, with some focus and resources, we could make a symbolic and sustainable difference. Will the Foreign Secretary please explain the principles on which our priorities are determined and our resources allocated between the two?
