Proceeding contribution from Lord Hague of Richmond (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 9 November 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Middle East and North Africa.


Middle East and North Africa

My hon. Friend blazed a trail by being the first British MP to go to Mauritania in a very long time. I can assure him that people there are still talking about his visit, and they will be for a long time to come. I strongly welcome the work that he has undertaken. We now have one diplomat based in Nouakchott, and of course we may want to expand that presence in future. I do not want to go any further than that at the moment.
