Question

Asked by

Viscount Waverley

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether, in order to facilitate dialogue and promote peace, they will support and lend assistance for moving the United Nations Special Representative from Nairobi to Mogadishu as soon as security conditions permit. [HL723]

The Minister of State, Foreign and Commonwealth Office
(Lord Malloch-Brown)

The UK fully supports the proposal to move the United Nations Secretary General's Special Representative for Somalia (UN SRSG) and his office from Nairobi to Mogadishu, when security conditions allow. We would look at what assistance we could provide at that time.
