Sri Lanka and the Commonwealth

Not all of us have joined the debate because we have a large Tamil community within our constituency—I do not. I am here because I am a friend of Sri Lanka and I think that what is unfolding in that country, and has been doing so for years, is a situation of deep injustice. We need to recognise that although the country's Government may have a military victory, that is different to there being a military solution to the problem. We need to get back to a peace process.
