At a Westminster Hall debate today, MPs from across political parties united in calling for stronger action by the British government. Speakers included Rushanara Ali MP and Sir Jeremy Hunt MP, Co-Chairs of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Burma, for which Burma Campaign UK acts as secretariat.
Anna Roberts, Executive Director of BCUK, commented: “There was unanimous cross-party support for new sanctions and stronger action from the British government, and once again we saw nothing new from the British Foreign Office.”
