MILITARY TENSION BETWEEN INDIA AND PAKISTAN

Motion Text

That this House notes that the governments of India and Pakistan remain on high military alert and have done so since mid-December, a period of drawn out tension unprecedented in peacetime; notes also that all links between the two countries for the purposes of travel and communication have remained severed throughout; and urges Her Majesty's Government to take all available measures, including a review of arms sales to the region, to assist these two countries in stepping back from the brink of military confrontation.
