<p><strong>Following the change to date for answer of this PQ, I submitted a response
by email on 26 March, with the following response. The Table Office have agreed this
approach.</strong></p><p>On 13 March, our High Commissioner to Georgetown released
a third joint statement with Heads of Missions of the Embassy of the United States
of America, the Canadian High Commission, and the Delegation of the European Union,
expressing our deep concern over events following the elections in Guyana on 2 March.
On 24 March the Foreign Secretary issued his second statement noting that transition
of government should only take place in line with transparent and democratic principles
that lead to credible results. He stated that any government sworn in on the basis
of non-credible results will face strong international condemnation. We call upon
the President to ensure that proper procedures are followed before embarking upon
a transition of government and we stand ready, alongside the international community,
to assist in ensuring a credible process that provides the democratic outcome that
the Guyanese people deserve.</p>
