Proceeding contribution from Michael Clapham (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 12 December 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Afghanistan.

Afghanistan

On the question of encouraging a positive approach from Iran, my right hon. Friend will be aware that in February 2001 the late Member for Redcar, who then had the remit for drugs, visited Iran to come to an agreement on working together to disrupt the drugs trafficking trade. Does my right hon. Friend believe that that agreement could form the basis of encouraging a revival—perhaps we should put it that way—of a more positive approach from Iran?
