The Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster (Lord Strathclyde)
My Lords, there is plenty of time. Perhaps we could hear from my noble friend and then the noble and gallant Lord.
Baroness Falkner of Margravine
My Lords, this has been the third serious provocation in less than four years by North Korea. The noble Baroness referred to the potential of the UN Security Council meeting. Will she assure the House that in the conversations that will be had with China with respect to potential Security Council sanctions against North Korea, the energy dependence of North Korea on China will be discussed, and that China will be pressed not to continue to provide oil to North Korea?
