§ Baroness Coxasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether there is any truth in the report on Sudanese television on 3rd November that the Government of Sudan's "Roving Ambassador", Lt Gen Joseph Lagu, left for London after briefing senior officials in Khartoum; and
If Lt Gen Joseph Lagu did visit the United Kingdom, on what kind of passport and visa, if any, he entered the United Kingdom; whether his visit was sanctioned by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office; and whether it was consistent with UN Security Council Resolution 1055, which calls on member states to restrict the number and movement of Sudanese diplomats because of the Government of Sudan's involvement in international terrorism.
§ Lord CheshamThere is no record of Joseph Lagu entering the UK on or after 3rd November.
