Fox ‘Worried’ About Lanka

Sunday, October 14, 2012
Former British Defence Minister Liam Fox has said that he is worried about the state of affairs in Sri Lanka.
He has said this during an event organized by the British Tamil Conservatives (BTC) in London, BTC said in an email to The Sunday Leader.
Fox has said that if the Government of Sri Lanka was not prepared to at least make the little changes already in the Constitution the situation would worsen. Fox has often been seen as a good friend of Sri Lanka and had made several visits to the country both as an opposition member and government member.
He resigned last year from his government post amidst allegations that he had given a close friend, lobbyist Adam Werritty, access to the Ministry of Defence and allowed him to join official trips overseas.
Meanwhile British MP Lee Scott, Chairman of the All Party Parliamentary Group for Tamils, speaking at the BTC event said he was fully aware justice for Tamils is the central concern of British Tamils.
The event was attended by the Party Chairman Rt Hon Grant Shapps, Cabinet Minister, Rt. Hon. Theresa Villiers, MPs, MEPs and Steve Bell, the Vice President of the National Conservative Convention.
