Proceeding contribution from Alun Michael (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 9 February 2012. It occurred during Debate on Somalia.
Somalia
The hon. Gentleman is making a very good point. Of course, economic development is also important for long-term stability. Does he agree that we must find mechanisms to allow investment in Somaliland in the absence of recognition, in order to make sure that what is a successful self-governing area—or independent country, if that is one's view—is not penalised? The people of Somaliland should not be penalised in respect of economic development.
