Proceeding contribution from Lord Stoddart of Swindon (Independent Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 8 October 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Iraq.

Iraq

My Lords, what exactly have we achieved, and what more can we achieve, if we have achieved anything at all, by keeping any further troops in Iraq? On the wider issue, can the Prime Minister give an assurance that the Government will not support, on the United States’ coat-tails, any military action of any sort against Iran? Also, if there is to be a wider settlement in the Middle East, are the Government prepared to talk to Hamas, which occupies a good part of Palestinian territory and of course is an elected Government?
