Iraq: Withdrawal
- Question
- My Lords, does the Ministeragree with the suggestion which was made byMr Al Aamery, who is the head of security in the Iraqi Parliament, at a press conference here last week that British and other foreign troops should withdraw to barracks and come out to take part in operations only under the instructions and at the request ofthe Iraqi Prime Minister, thus emphasising the sovereignty of Iraq?
- Answer
-
My Lords, we certainly see that the Government of Iraq are starting to express their sovereignty—that is a good thing. We are working with them to make sure that we use our forces in parallel with what they are looking for us to do.
