Proceeding contribution from Tony Lloyd (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 18 July 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on G8 Summit.


G8 Summit

I wonder whether my right hon. Friend would agree that if there is to be long-term stability in the middle east, something that must change is the position of Lebanon. That state has been enfeebled by its neighbours, Syria and Israel, for their own misguided purposes which prevent a long-term solution. What can be done to strengthen the Government in Beirut to make sure that Lebanon can deal with the problem of Hezbollah?
