Proceeding contribution from Lord Hague of Richmond (Conservative) 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
As I said earlier, the measures for which we are making contingency plans require demonstrable need, a clear legal basis and clear support from the region for them to be implemented. UK diplomats have done an amazing job. For example, the people in our rapid deployment team who went to Tripoli airport the week before last worked day and night for four to five days, assisting British nationals to be evacuated. They did an outstanding job, which has not always been widely recognised in the commentary on those matters. I pay tribute to them today.
