PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
TIBETAN PARLIAMENTARIANS' VISIT TO WESTMINSTER (18 October 2005)

Motion Details

That this House welcomes the historic visit to Westminster on 24th October by a delegation of 11 Tibetan Members of Parliament from the Assembly of Tibetan People's Deputies; commends the Tibetan Government in exile's continued commitment to delivering change and seeking justice for their people through non-violence; considers it a significant achievement that democracy has been developed for the Tibetan people in exile despite the adversity of their circumstances; laments that the Tibetan people within Tibet do not have the same recourse to democratic process; and urges the Government to continue its policy actively to encourage the Chinese Government to negotiate with the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan Government to find a lasting and legitimate solution to the benefit of Tibet and China.
