With recent instances of violence and tension between the two countries, India and Pakistan, most recently, on Monday 11 July 2016 in which 30 protesters were killed and 200 more injured in clashes with security forces in Indian-administered Kashmir, I asked the Minister at Foreign and Commonwealth questions on Tuesday 12 July 2016 the following question:

On Tuesday 12 July 2016, I chaired the Westminster Hall debate on North Middlesex University Hospital NHS Trust, which was moved by Joan Ryan MP who secured the Westminster Hall debate following a Care Quality Commission (CQC) report which found that the hospital's emergency services are 'inadquate', medical care 'requires improvement' and that patient safety at the hospital had been 'compromised'. Other members who took part were: David Burrows MP; Rt Hon David Lammy MP and Catherine West MP. The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Health, Ben Gummer MP, responded.
I was delighted to speak to the members of the Senate and National Assembly of Pakistan on Tuesday 12 July 2016.
