Friend mentioned. [MR.SPEAKER in the Chair] Mr. William Hague (Richmond, Yorks) (Con): Amidst all the debates that we will have in the coming election campaign, should we not all remember that throughout Oral Answers to Questions every hour of it we have 10,000 British servicemen and women in real battles in Afghanistan and that their role must be a paramount concern for whoever is elected on FOREIGN AND COMMONWEALTH OFFICE 6 May? Is it not true that the military advances made on the ground will be of long-term benefit only if the The Secretary of State was asked— Afghan political processes also succeed and are seen to be legitimate?

  • In the Sri Lankan Conflict
    INTRODUCTORY NOTES The focus of this study is on ‘external interventions’ in the Sri Lankan conflict – those ostensibly intended to pressurise both the government of Sri Lanka as well as the LTTE to abandon violent confrontation and seek a negotiated settlement of the conflict. Such pressures on the government take several forms, applied with varying levels of intensity and insistence by the different countries with which Sri Lanka maintains close relations – advice and moral persuasion, economic aid being made conditional upon the resumption of ‘peace negotiations’, prohibitions on the sale of arms, providing lavish support to local NGOs that claim to be engaged in the ‘peace effort’, and, above all, threat of action as envisaged in the emerging doctrine of ‘Responsibility to Protect’ (‘R2P’) against alleged violations of human rights. To the LTTE, with its proclaimed adherence to the belief that terrorist violence is a legitimate instrumentality of ‘liberation struggles’, and ranking as it does among the most violent terrorist outfits in the world, the charge of human rights violations has remained largely inconsequential except where it is given concrete expression in sanctions and proscriptions. To the Sri Lanka government, being placed at par with the Tigers in accusations of human rights violation is, of course, a damning indictment and a humiliating diminution of status in the community of nations. During the period covered by this study (2006-2007), the secessionist campaign of the LTTE suffered major setbacks, exacerbating its earlier losses caused by the Tsunami and the ‘Karuna revolt’. The period has also been featured by an extraordinarily sharp upsurge of external “humanitarian intervention” in the Sri Lankan conflict, the intensity of which has had a remarkable correspondence with the tenor and tempo of LTTE failures.

  • Subject: Questions to the Mayor Report Number: 4 Report To: London Assembly Date: 23/05/07 Report Of: Director of Secretariat
    Subject: Questions to the Mayor Report number: 4 Report to: London Assembly Date: 23/05/07 Report of: Director Of Secretariat Renewable Energy at the Olympics Question No: 856 / 2007 Darren Johnson Is it correct to conclude from your answer to MQT 656/2007 that 20% of the energy demand during the Olympic Games in 2012 will be provided from on-site renewable energy, and that London Array and other off-site renewables will not count towards this 20%? Response from the Mayor The ODA Sustainable Development Strategy sets out the objective for providing 20 per cent of immediate post Games Park and Village energy demand from on-site renewable sources. This will be achieved through on-site renewable sources. The London Array and other off site renewable sources will not count towards that target. Annual CO2 Reduction Targets Question No: 857 / 2007 Darren Johnson Following your Climate Change Action Plan, will you set annual targets for CO2 reductions in London? Response from the Mayor My Climate Change Action Plan set an overall carbon reduction target of 60% by 2025. As I set out when launching the Plan, this implies a reduction of 4% a year. Clearly we will not achieve emissions reductions in a totally linear fashion, but we will aim to reach this leve of cuts each year. I have also undertaken to report annually on progress with the Plan, and will include within this information about CO2 emissions as well as details of implementation programmes. ODA Sustainability Policies Oral Question No: 858 / 2007 answer Darren Johnson In response to question 374/2007 you expressed concern regarding ODA sustainability policies “particularly on waste, water, timber and procurement issues”.
