Proceeding contribution from Bob Ainsworth (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 7 March 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Libya and the Middle East.


Libya and the Middle East

Will the Foreign Secretary do nothing more to give the impression to the British public that what is under consideration is about being seen to be doing something, rather than about doing something? Will he do absolutely nothing—he has recognised this in answer to the right hon. and learned Member for Kensington (Sir Malcolm Rifkind)—to undermine not only the impression but the priority for the Libyan opposition to be at the forefront of this? This should not be about some desire of the United Kingdom Government.
