HL Deb 17 December 1998 vol 595 c181WA
The Earl of Sandwich

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they still have confidence in the IGAD process as a means of reaching a peaceful settlement in Sudan; and what other channels are being pursued. [HL322]

Baroness Symons of Vernham Dean

While aware that the IGAD has its weaknesses, we firmly believe that the IGAD Peace Process is the best framework within which to work towards a peaceful solution to the civil war in Sudan.

We shall continue to offer our support to the IGAD Secretariat, particularly through the IGAD Partners Forum.
