Proceeding contribution from Lord Davies of Stamford (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 1 April 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Iraq.
Iraq
Having encouraged the Iraqi Government to take direct responsibility for security in Basra, it is only right to do everything possible to support them in that new role. Are there not two imperatives in this situation: first, to do everything possible to support, and above all nothing to undermine, the chances for nascent Iraqi democracy; and, secondly, to do everything possible to support, and nothing to undermine, the position of our American allies? Is that not the only possible, honourable and right policy to adopt?
