Proceeding contribution from Lord Watson of Wyre Forest (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 24 May 2011. It occurred during Urgent question on Libya.

Libya

My understanding is that the French have publicly briefed the press that the National Security Council has taken the decision to deploy the helicopters. When the Minister says that the decision has not been taken, does he mean that there is a recommendation from the National Security Council awaiting rubber-stamping from the Prime Minister in order to get sign-off from the President for an announcement later in the week?
