§ Mr. Hilary BennTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the current situation in Burma. [105278]
§ Mr. BattleThere has been no improvement in the political and human rights situation in Burma. The UK remains committed to pressing for change and for dialogue between the regime and democratic leaders, including ethnic minorities. We take every opportunity to do so: for example, we support the EU Common Position on Burma (a package of measures against the regime) and have co-sponsored UN resolutions—most recently at the UN General Assembly in November—critical of the regime.
