Lebanon is at a crossroads. Whatever the political solution, Lebanon needs a government that can urgently deliver vital reforms necessary to create a better country for all. Violence or intimidation of peaceful protests from any group only undermines Lebanon's unity and stability. The UK will continue to support a secure, stable, sovereign and prosperous Lebanon.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 05/11/2019 16:43:18 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
