Proceeding contribution from Vincent Cable (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 7 February 2007. It occurred during Opposition day on Al-Yamamah Arms Agreement.

Al-Yamamah Arms Agreement

Gentleman’s former colleague, the then Mr. John MacGregor—all took the view that the agreement was highly disadvantageous?
