Proceeding contribution from Robert Halfon (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 7 February 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on EU Council and North Africa.


EU Council and North Africa

Given my right hon. Friend's important speech over the weekend, does he not agree that the previous Government's facilitation of the release of al-Megrahi sent entirely the wrong signal to dictators, Islamists and terrorists right across the globe and represents a considerable setback to those who oppose such things? Will he take steps to ensure that as a United Kingdom we are never faced with such a situation again?
