Andrew Griffiths
The hon. Gentleman articulates the views of so many of my constituents. They ask, “Why isn’t it on television or in the newspapers? Why is what is happening in Kashmir not being reported here in Britain, and why is the international community not doing something about it?”
Nic Dakin (Scunthorpe) (Lab)
The hon. Gentleman sets out his points very well. Does he agree that today’s debate demonstrates that we are listening to the concerns of our constituents, and that we are keen to move the issue forward so that proper progress can be made on it internationally?
Andrew Griffiths
I agree, and I know that the hon. Gentleman does a great deal in this House on these issues. I congratulate him on that.
