Mr. Ancram

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether Her Majesty's Government recognises Mr. Jama Ali Jama as the President of the Puntland State of Somalia. [105622]

Mr. Straw

The UK recognises States, not Governments. We do not recognise "the Puntland State of Somalia".
