Proceeding contribution from Sarah Newton (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 30 November 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Christians in Iraq.


Christians in Iraq

It is excellent that my hon. Friend has secured the debate today. Does he agree that it was a very brave commitment by the coalition Government to maintain levels of funding for overseas aid? Does he also agree that the stated intention of helping post-conflict areas of the world to build tolerant, sustainable communities is a vital aim, and that the Government could be looking at the situation in Iraq with a view to investing resources to ensure the safety of the Christian community there and help them in their larger role of building a peaceful and sustainable Iraq?
