Proceeding contribution from Lord Howell of Guildford (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 6 February 2012. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Syria.

Syria

Yes, we keep in very close touch with partners, and indeed the Lebanese authorities and the Lebanese Prime Minister, Mr Najib Mikati, over the situation. It is a delicate and very difficult one for the Lebanese Government, who have problems internally with Hezbollah and with their relationship with Syria, which is complex and has been in the past extremely difficult. These matters are under very close review at all times.
