The Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs (Mr William Hague)
The Minister of State, Foreign and Commonwealth Office, Lord Howell of Guildford, made the following statement:
“Jordan is a close ally and we value the support they offer on regional issues such as the middle east peace process. We are watching closely the situation in Jordan following the disbanding of the cabinet. It is important that Jordan continues its programme of political and economic reform. We will work with the Jordanian Government to support that goal.”
