Paul Rowen (Rochdale, LDem)
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what assessment he has made of the security situation in northern Uganda.
Ian Pearson (Minister of State (Trade), Foreign & Commonwealth Office)
The security situation has deteriorated since the expiry of the cease-fire in February and the onset of the rainy season. The Lord's Resistance Army continue to attack and loot for food and supplies.
We support those working to end this conflict. My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for International Development and the noble Lord Triesman of Tottenham discussed this with President Museveni on 4 July.
