Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Crispin Blunt (Conservative). It was answered on Tuesday, 6 April 2010 on behalf of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
Iraq
- Question
- In the parliamentary elections five years ago, the then Prime Minister sent people out from the policy unit here to assist then Prime Minister Allawi with his election campaign, which actually looked like fairly discreditable interference in the affairs of Iraq. Can the Foreign Secretary confirm that Mr. Allawi succeeded this time without the assistance of anyone from the United Kingdom?
- Answer
-
Certainly, I have no information to suggest that there was any support from the United Kingdom in that respect. Of course, as the hon. Gentleman knows, on that occasion the result did not work out in favour of the Government in the Iraqi election.
