I have not met the Burmese Rohingya community in the UK since the Bay of Bengal and Andaman Sea humanitarian crisis emerged in May. However, our officials met a senior Burmese Muslim representative in London in June to discuss the crisis, and I called in the Burmese Ambassador to raise my concerns. Previously I have met many Burmese groups, including community and religious leaders from within the Rohingya community, both in the UK and during my visits to Burma.
