Proceeding contribution from Andrew Selous (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 16 December 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Christians in Iraq.
Christians in Iraq
I apologise for not being here at the start of my hon. Friend's debate, but I was speaking in a Statutory Instrument Committee. My hon. Friend said that things are getting better in Baghdad. I apologise if he has already mentioned this, but he and I had the privilege of hearing Canon Andrew White speak in Parliament last week when he said that 93 members of his congregation at St. George's, Baghdad, have been killed this year. What is the most effective action that the UK and US Governments can take with the Iraqi authorities to persuade them to crack down on abuse against Christians and other minorities in Iraq?
