SELF-DETERMINATION FOR PEOPLE OF KASHMIR

Early day motion 363, tabled 20 June 2005 by Marsha Singh (Labour). Signed by 40 members.

That this House recognises that the question of self-determination for the people of Kashmir remains unresolved more than 50 years after the creation of India and Pakistan as independent states; wholeheartedly welcomes the new approach being taken by the governments of India and Pakistan to bring a peaceful solution to one of the world's longest running disputes; calls upon all groups to cease human rights violations and allow the free movement of local people and leaders; and reaffirms its belief that the UK Government should continue vigorously to support the right of the Kashmiri people to determine its own future.

Signatures by party: Labour 25, Liberal Democrat 9, Conservative 4, Plaid Cymru 1, Scottish National Party 1.
