Baghdad Ambassador

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will place in the Library a copy of the (a) transcript and (b) any other note taken of the press conference held by Her Majesty's ambassador in Baghdad on 7 February.
Answer

[holding answer 16 February 2006]: Her Majesty's ambassador in Baghdad did not hold a press conference on 7 February. He did hold a briefing for local Iraqi media at the British embassy on 6 February. We do not make transcripts of such briefings, but an informal contemporaneous summary of the briefing was made by an embassy official. I will place a copy in the Library of the House.
