Since their visit, and the welcome visit made by the cross-party group of MPs, made up of my right hon. Friendthe Member for Kilmarnock and Loudoun (Des Browne) - he sends his apologies for not being here today; he is speaking about the Sri Lankan Crisis elsewhere -the right hon. Member for Gordon (Malcolm Bruce), my hon. Friendthe Member for Glasgow, Central (Mr. Sarwar) and the hon. Members for South Down (Mr. McGrady) and for Buckingham (John Bercow), there has been some improvement in the issuing of visas to the staff of the humanitarian agencies and in those agencies' ability to move around the country.

As hon. Members have graciously said, the UK has been leading the action at the UN in terms of our response to the Sri Lankan Crisis.
