Proceeding contribution from Gordon Brown (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 22 July 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Iraq.
Iraq
I think it is true to say that many of the refugees who left Iraq are now returning; the Defence Secretary has told me that 600 doctors recently returned to Iraq. There are an estimated 2 million refugees, many of whom are in Jordan and surrounding areas, and, of course, it is important for the future of Iraq that those people who have skills to offer to build its economy and society can return as soon as possible.
