Proceeding contribution from Daniel Kawczynski (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 28 November 2011. It occurred during Debate on North Africa and the Near and Middle East.


North Africa and the Near and Middle East

I am far too junior and inexperienced, but I am grateful for my hon. Friend's comment. I feel passionately about Saudi Arabia. As chairman of the all-party group on Saudi Arabia, I am pleased to inform the House that next month I will lead the largest ever parliamentary delegation to the kingdom, with 16 Members of Parliament, including many Labour MPs, as well as Conservatives. I am looking forward to that trip immensely. I have been battling against extraordinary ignorance about and prejudice against Saudi Arabia for many years, and that includes ignorance and prejudice from British Members of Parliament.
