TEATHER CALLS FOR GOVERNMENT TO INCREASE AIR TRANSPORT ASSISTANCE IN KASHMIR

October 11, 2005 3:50 PM

Local Liberal Democrat MP Sarah Teather yesterday appealed to the Government to grant more air transport assistance to the stricken region of Kashmir.

The Brent East MP made her appeal to the Secretary of State for International Development, Hillary Benn in the House of Commons. The Liberal Democrat MP was only in the region last week.

Local Liberal Democrat MP Sarah Teather said:

"The mountainous terrain makes the rescue and recovery operation extremely difficult. Many constituents have told me of their concern for friends and relatives living in remote areas, air transport will be vital in gaining access to these areas.

"Our thoughts and minds are with those who have lost or who still not heard from relatives in the region. It is vital we all get behind the relief effort so that we can begin the rebuilding process in Kashmir."

    If you are a resident of the Brent Central constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
