Business of the House

Business question from David Drew (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 12 March 2009. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Last week, I raised with my right hon. and learned Friend the situation in the Sudan. We now know that what was initially a removal by a small number of non-governmental organisations is now a virtually wholesale removal of all NGOs from the country. That will lead to a humanitarian disaster. It would be right and proper for the House to discuss that in advance, so that we can see what we could do as a country. Millions of people's lives are now being put at risk, so is it not right that the House has the opportunity to discuss that, to see how we may help?
