HC Deb 17 April 2002 vol 383 cc944-5W
Mr. Sarwar

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the situation in Nepal. [50440]

Mr. Bradshaw

We are particularly concerned about recent attacks on food, water and electricity supplies and other economic, development and infrastructural targets. We urge the Maoists to disarm, renounce violence, and rejoin the peace process in good faith.
