Proceeding contribution from Harry Cohen (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 10 October 2006. It occurred during Urgent question on North Korea Nuclear Test.

North Korea Nuclear Test

North Korea is patently unwise to starve its people for this nuclear weapon, which actually puts the country more at risk rather than less. However, may I say to my right hon. Friend that she has a bit of a blind spot if she does not believe that President Bush’s ““axis of evil”” speech and the subsequent war against Iraq did anything to encourage North Korea to adopt this course of action? May I also say that although I do not object to sanctions, I am opposed to chapter VII actions that could lead on to military action? Cannot my right hon. Friend see that that would only make matters worse?
