Without exception all Members of Parliament from all three main political parties in a show of solidarity and concern spoke in support of Tamils and the general suffering of the Tamils, particularly in Vanni, North of Sri Lanka. They also showed no remorse in condemning the Government of Sri Lanka for its military action against the Tamil Nation to fundamentally a political problem and its persistent human rights violations. The UK Government Junior Minister responsible for the Department for International Development (DFID) Rt. Hon Michael Foster MP announced that an additional aid of £2.5 million to support the efforts of the ICRC and other UN agencies and NGOs. This confirms the statement made by his predecessor Rt. Hon Shahid Malik MP to the British Tamils Forum at a meeting held at the end of September that the UK Government will be sending aid via international aid agencies and local Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and NOT through the Government of Sri Lanka.
A greater number of Members of Parliament from the main three political parties unlike other adjournment debates attended this debate at the Westminster Hall lead by Rt. Hon Joan Ryan MP.
The genocide of the Tamils in the hands of the Sinhalese government is an ongoing process and the funding given by foreign countries is being abused by the corrupted leaders of the Srilankan government for their own selfish and chavunistic purposes.
