Proceeding contribution from Ann Winterton (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)

The poor training and discipline of the boarding party have been admitted—this work is to be undertaken in future by expert teams—but by stepping up to the line, the Secretary of State has done no service to the Navy. It is frankly unbelievable that he has not told the House who was responsible for that poor training, what rank they held and whether they are serving at home or abroad. Will he now give us that information?
