Proceeding contribution from David Winnick (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

Up to about a fortnight ago, we were busy selling arms to Gaddafi's bloodstained regime. Does the Foreign Secretary understand that there is a great divide between giving humanitarian aid to the victims of Gaddafi's regime, and military intervention? On the latter, there seems to be in the House and certainly in the country at large—and I believe it is the right attitude to take—no appetite for military intervention in Libya.
