Proceeding contribution from Baroness O'Cathain (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 8 October 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Iraq.

Iraq

My Lords, the Statement talked about a development commission that will look at projects particularly to develop Basra airport. In every recent exercise that we have had with the United States, after the settlement there has been a complete, 100 per cent reorganisation and restructuring by the United States, with no other contractors from any other countries having any work in place; they have never had a part of it. Do we have any idea whether there will be some strictures to the effect that jobs in the post-war situation should be handed out evenly among the people who actually did all the work for Iraq?
