Debate between Keith Vaz and Chris Ruane

Tuesday 20th November 2012 Commons Chamber

[Keith Vaz (Leicester East) (Lab)]

[Keith Vaz]

Will the Deputy Prime Minister consider visiting New Zealand to try to speed up this process, because it is taking a long time and there is all-party agreement that it should be concluded as soon as possible?
