Baroness Cox

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What is their response to recent developments in Myanmar (Burma), with particular reference to the military offensive being launched by the SLORC (State Law and Order Restoration Council) regime against the Karen people and other opposition groups.

Lord Inglewood

We are very concerned about the situation in Burma and in particular about the recent attacks on the Karen people. Together with our European Union partners, we intend to express these concerns directly to the ruling military regime in Burma. We will be pressing for clarification of their commitment to national reconciliation and democratic reform.
