Proceeding contribution from Kerry McCarthy (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 14 December 2017. It occurred during Select Committee statement on Violence in Rakhine State.
Violence in Rakhine State
Mr Speaker, I know of your long-standing interest in this issue, which you demonstrated when you were on the Back Benches.
The report is excellent. As it mentions, some of the refugees may be very reluctant to return to Burma given the treatment they have received. To what extent did the Foreign Affairs Committee consider alternatives to either Burma or Bangladesh? Did it feel that there was support from within the Rohingya community for being moved to somewhere else completely?
