DARFUR

Early day motion 1116, tabled 24 November 2005 by Liam Fox (Conservative). Signed by 82 members.

That this House regards the unfolding genocide in the Sudanese province of Darfur, and the deteriorating security situation, as unacceptable; notes with disappointment the Sudanese government's failure to promote either the cause of economic reform or freedom of expression for all its citizens; expresses concern at the continuing Chinese influence on the Sudanese government which restricts debate at the United Nations; and commends the work of the African Union in maintaining a peacekeeping presence in Sudan despite financial difficulties and continuing violence.

Signatures by party: Conservative 59, Labour 12, Liberal Democrat 5, Plaid Cymru 2, Social Democratic and Labour Party 2, DUP 1, Scottish National Party 1.
