Sri Lanka and the Commonwealth

Proceeding contribution from Joan Ryan (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 24 March 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Sri Lanka and the Commonwealth.
I am concerned about the tone of some of the comments. I want to put it on record that although I want my hon. Friend the Minister to talk to us about representations to the UN and to ensure that we explore all possibilities—I do not want anything to be ruled out—I do not believe that any Government have spoken up to the same degree as the British Government and the Labour Prime Minister. Their pressure has been the only pressure. We should support it and build on it, not undermine it, and I ask the leadership of all parties to do so together.
