§ Lord Moynihanasked Her Majesty's Government:
What action they will take with regard to the future of East Timor if a positive security assessment cannot be made ahead of next month's United Nations consultation process. [HL3653]
§ Baroness Symons of Vernham DeanThe security situation in East Timor remains a cause for concern. Our focus now is on working with all involved to help secure real improvements so that a positive assessment can be made and so that UNAMET, whose work we have been actively supporting, can conduct a free and fair consultation of the East Timorese people.
