Proceeding contribution from Lord Campbell of Pittenweem (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 24 January 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Iraq and the wider Middle East.
Iraq and the wider Middle East
If that is the right hon. Lady’s approach—[Interruption.] Let us examine the basis of her question. It is based on an assumption that our commitment is unlimited, and that we must stay in Iraq as long as there is any threat of disturbance or instability. That is simply not feasible or sustainable, either in terms of resources or of the lives that we put at risk when we send people to the region. I accept that there will be risks involved in what I propose, but are they any greater than the risks faced at present by those whom we have sent there.
