Rt Hon Sir Peter Lloyd

"I was impressed over twenty-two years in Parliament by the excellent up to date briefing it supplied to members of all parties and its consistently professional lobbying of Ministers on specific issues.

In particular, CAABU is extremely effective in introducing new members of Parliament to the complex realities of Palestine and other Arab countries by organising all party delegations to visit and see them at first hand early in their political careers.

CAABU has been strengthening its representation at the annual party conferences, where staff have been able to engage local activists who often have a considerable influence over their MPs’ priorities.

The well-established programme of talks to schools has done much to give the rising generations an awareness of events that have shaped Arab history and aspirations.

CAABU media briefings and well argued letters to the newspapers are doing much to ensure that coverage of Arab related issues is more complete and better balanced.

Finally CAABU provides a welcoming vehicle for Arabs settled in the UK to take a leading part in fostering better understanding of their mother countries and Arab culture."
