§ 24. Mr. LukeTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the political situation in Burma. [150711]
§ Mr. Mike O'BrienWe remain concerned about the political situation in Burma. Although the Burmese regime's plans for a National Convention are a step forward, the process needs to be inclusive and transparent, involving representatives from the democratic opposition and the ethnic groups. Convention participants must be allowed full freedom of speech, movement and political activity. As a first step Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and her NLD colleagues must be fully released and NLD offices re-opened.
