To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what recent discussions she has had with the Government of India on (a) policy towards Burma, (b) human rights in Burma, (c) the humanitarian needs of displaced peoples living on the India-Burma border and (d) the export of gas from Burma.

My right. hon. Friend the Foreign Secretary has had no recent discussions with the Indian Government about Burma.

We have regular discussions with the Indian Government about their policy towards Burma. The Indian Government is fully aware of the UK's policy towards Burma, including our concerns about human rights and the lack of democracy there.

Most recently, I raised Burma with the Indian Minister of State in the Ministry of External Affairs in Delhi on 27 November 2006.

I shall continue to raise the issue of Burma with the Indian Government.
