Proceeding contribution from Baroness Ashton of Upholland (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 8 October 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Iraq.


Iraq

My Lords, it must be the ambition of the Government, as the right reverend Prelate rightly says, that those who have been displaced should be able to return home. We would wish to see that happen in any region of the world. Certainly, in considering the security situation in any part of Iraq—not least in southern Iraq where our forces are working—it is a factor to be taken into account. It must be, as I have indicated, an ultimate ambition.
