Proceeding contribution from Lord Russell-Johnston (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 19 June 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Iran: HMS ““Cornwall””.
Iran: HMS ““Cornwall””
My Lords, the Minister said that the report stated that the absence of a helicopter or ““guard””, to use the Minister’s own expression, made no difference. I really do not understand that. I thought the whole point—and it was certainly the speculation at the time of the incident—of having those helicopters there was to intervene if such an incident took place.
