Proceeding contribution from Ann Clwyd (Labour) 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)
I believe that it is important to remind people that nobody died and that 15 young people came back alive. The Secretary of State has acknowledged, as he has on previous occasions, that there were mistakes and shortcomings. Surely what we need now is to draw a line under this and to implement the recommendations. Can my right hon. Friend refute the suggestion, made by an Opposition Member from a sedentary position, that we have a Mickey Mouse navy? We have nothing of the sort and that view is not shared on this side of the House.
