Proceeding contribution from Peter Viggers (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 19 June 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Iran (Detention of Naval Personnel).

Iran (Detention of Naval Personnel)

Is the Secretary of State aware that the armed forces personnel clearly needed training and instruction that they did not have, and that the rules of engagement were clearly wrong? Is he aware that this feeble and evasive statement cannot be the end of the matter? I, for one, as a former Chairman of the Committee that considered what became the Armed Forces Act 2006 and a member of the Defence Committee, prefer not to be excluded from consideration of this issue and intend to find ways to pursue the matter elsewhere.
