Proceeding contribution from Baroness Ashton of Upholland (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 22 July 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Iraq.
Iraq
My Lords, I agree with the noble Lord. Yesterday—I cannot find them now—I was reading the precise details of Iraqi oil production and projections for the future. The noble Lord is completely right that this is an oil-rich state with huge reserves of oil and great potential—hence the question asked by the noble Lord, Lord Hylton, about hydrocarbons legislation, which is an important element of that. We must work closely to ensure that we provide the technical support necessary to enable Iraq to exploit its oil reserves appropriately.
