Proceeding contribution from Richard Ottaway (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 14 March 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Japan and the Middle East.


Japan and the Middle East

I very much agree with the Prime Minister's proposals to make the countries of the middle east bigger and more open societies, but those of us with reservations about the no-fly zone are concerned about where it will lead. Given that the last two no-fly zones, in Bosnia and Iraq, both needed troops on the ground to follow behind them, what does he envisage will happen if a no-fly zone is unsuccessful and Gaddafi remains in place?
