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

There is no doubt that we want to see free and fair elections in Egypt for the presidency and the Parliament. The people who have brought about the revolution in Egypt are also absolutely determined about that, however, so they do not need the United Kingdom to show our determination on that front—although we certainly agree. It is the people of Egypt who own what has happened, and of course we now want to see the development of a stable, open democracy in that country.
