Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Geoffrey Clifton-Brown and David Lammy

Tuesday 30th July 2024 Commons Chamber

[Sir Geoffrey Clifton-Brown (North Cotswolds) (Con)]

What steps will the British Government be taking, following the highly disputed result in Venezuela of the election of President Maduro, to work with our American colleagues over the disputed land in Guyana to prevent any incursion there?

[Mr Lammy]

I thank the hon. Gentleman for raising that issue. The disputed election in the last few days is of huge concern, and I issued a statement on it yesterday. There are ongoing discussions with our American friends, and indeed with the state of Guyana, given the threats from Maduro in the past.
