Sri Lanka

EDM number 71 in 1995-96, proposed by Jeremy Corbyn on 20/11/1995.

That this House is appalled at the plight of over 500,000 people fleeing the Jaffna peninsula in Sri Lanka; is deeply concerned at the refusal of the Sri Lanka government to allow humanitarian aid to be independently delivered; calls for an immediate cessation of hostilities to allow unconditional peace talks; further calls upon Her Majesty's Government and other governments to halt all arms sales and deliveries and use their good offices to promote a lasting constitutional settlement and further notes that over 5,000 people marched through London in support of these aims on Saturday, 18th November with no British media coverage.

This motion has been signed by a total of 68 MPs.
