Land Mines On The Pakistan Afghan Border

EDM number 577 in 2006-07, proposed by Gordon Prentice on 08/01/2007.

That this House is gravely concerned to learn that Pakistan may lay anti-personnel land mines along its border with Afghanistan; believes that Pakistan should secure this border with its own military without resorting to land mines, which too easily kill and maim innocent people; believes that the manufacture and use of land mines should be outlawed; calls on the Government to make immediate representations to the Pakistani authorities; and urges Pakistan to sign up to the Land Mine Treaty in this, its 10th anniversary year.

This motion has been signed by a total of 51 MPs.
