Proceeding contribution from Richard Ottaway (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 6 February 2012. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Syria.

Syria

I share the Foreign Secretary's approach and urge him to maintain the political, economic and diplomatic pressure that he set out. The third step that he announced was that he would intensify contact with members of the Syrian opposition. Will he elaborate a little on that: is it on a multilateral or bilateral basis, and is there any limit to the level of resources that he is able to commit to helping that opposition in Syria?
