Proceeding contribution from Anne Snelgrove (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 welcome the fact that there was no equipment failure, the commitment to learning from mistakes and my right hon. Friend’s assertion that the rules of engagement were right for the task. I spent several years in the nuclear industry, in a communications department, where I witnessed press officers working in difficult circumstances. The best press officers have media experience and a media background, as I hope my right hon. Friend will agree, so will he assure me that he will consider people with a press background when looking for media support in the future?
