Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Ellie Reeves and Boris Johnson

Tuesday 21st November 2017 Commons Chamber

[Boris Johnson]

For many years, the world has looked to Aung San Suu Kyi as a great moral leader. We still salute her for her struggle for democracy in the face of the generals, but it is vital now that she stands up to condemn what is happening and brings the nation together. I am sorry to say that so far the Burmese Government have failed to do that.
