Proceeding contribution from Richard Burden (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 28 February 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Libya and the Middle East.
Libya and the Middle East
The Prime Minister put it graphically when he said that hopes and aspirations that have been smothered for decades are stirring. If we are to build a new relationship with the middle east based on mutual respect, do we not need to get rid of our reputation for double standards? That means not only standing up to dictators, but saying very plainly that the occupation of one country by another is wrong and has to end.
