Proceeding contribution from Kim Howells (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 10 June 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Geneva Conventions and United Nations Personnel (Protocols) Bill [Lords].


Geneva Conventions and United Nations Personnel (Protocols) Bill [Lords]

I am fascinated by the hon. Gentleman's historical lesson, which is very instructive, but I want to tease something out of him. Is he worried about the possibility that iconoclastic leaders such as Chavez, Ahmadinejad or Kim Il Jung would want their own symbols for nationalistic purposes and to reinforce their independence? Is that the sort of proliferation that he is worried about?
