BOLIVIA

Early day motion 2112, tabled 8 May 2006 by Greg Hands (Conservative). Signed by 11 members.

That this House condemns the decision taken by President Morales to seize all the gas deposits of the gas industry; fears that this will provoke a withdrawal of foreign investment in Bolivia leading to a loss of money and expertise to the Bolivian economy; is concerned about the impact of this decision on gas supplies in South America; and urges other Latin American countries to reject this outdated approach with regard to their own natural resources.
