Lord Howell of Guildford
Yes, we keep in very close touch with partners, and indeed the Lebanese authorities and the Lebanese Prime Minister, Mr Najib Mikati, over the situation. It is a delicate and very difficult one for the Lebanese Government, who have problems internally with Hezbollah and with their relationship with Syria, which is complex and has been in the past extremely difficult. These matters are under very close review at all times.
The Deputy Speaker (Lord Skelmersdale)
My Lords, the time for the Statement has now elapsed so we return to the Protection of Freedoms Bill.
