BURMA (No. 3)

Early day motion 804, tabled 6 June 2000 by Paul Marsden (Labour). Signed by 78 members.

That this House recognises and supports the Committee Representing the People's Parliament in Burma which has been established due to the military junta's refusal to comply with the 1990 election results and allow parliament to convene since that time; notes that the Committee Representing the People's Parliament has already received statements of support from the European Parliament, the Danish Parliament, the Belgium Parliament and the Norwegian Parliament; and believes that international recognition of this kind will serve to strengthen the pro-democracy movement in Burma.

Signatures by party: Labour 43, Liberal Democrat 17, Conservative 7, Labour/Co-operative 6, UUP 4, Plaid Cymru 1.
