Speaking in the House of Lords on 24 June 2026

Debate

Darfur: Atrocities

Contribution

Yes, that is a very good suggestion. It is why we had an illicit gold conference recently. I am well aware of the problem the noble Lord describes. The idea of having a consumer-facing campaign around this is excellent. I would like to get involved in leading it. It is so destructive, and it is without doubt fuelling this conflict. I would welcome any move to make consumers more aware of where their gold comes from and of the fact that it can be used to support the devasting atrocities that we see in Sudan.
