Proceeding contribution from Frank Roy (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

Two weeks ago, we witnessed the debacle of the Foreign Office trying to arrange a Tripoli airport rescue mission, and last week the Prime Minister refused to rule out arming rebel groups in Libya, and those are the same groups that held our diplomats and soldiers over the weekend. Can the Foreign Secretary give an assurance that this week will not be the third week of disasters by the Government?
