Iraq

I endorse the comments of my hon. Friend the Member for Stockton, South (Ms Taylor) on the role of the TA. The national mobilisation base in my constituency has worked hard to support that role, and we are very grateful for its efforts. With Iran's current position up for review, does the Prime Minister agree that as well as talking about the sanctions we will impose if it takes the wrong direction, it should be made clear that if Iran is willing to support the Shi'a-led Iraqi Government's efforts to achieve peace, that will be an important step towards normalising its relationship with the rest of the world?
