Proceeding contribution from Lord Corbett of Castle Vale (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 16 April 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Iraq.


Iraq

My Lords, is not one of the main lessons of this premeditated seizure of our personnel by the Iranians that firmness towards this rotten regime succeeds while floundering and appeasement fails to encourage the fundamentalists to come clean about their nuclear ambitions? Will the Government now match the firmness they demonstrated on this occasion by removing the ban on the Iranian resistance to signal our support for those who have had their freedom and human rights stolen from them?
