Iraq: Security Forces
- Question
- My Lords, does my noble friend agree that the democracy and stability to which he referred in Iraq has taken a great step forward with the resounding vote recently in favour of the constitution?
- Answer
-
My Lords, I agree with my noble friend that the result of the vote on the constitution is an important step on the road towards democracy in Iraq. It keeps the political process on track towards the elections on 15 December. The fact that there was such a high turnout in the referendum—in particular the Sunni engagement in the vote—is a very good sign.
