Proceeding contribution from Lord Cameron of Chipping Norton (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

My hon. Friend makes an extremely important point. Everyone will have seen the words of the Arab League and of the Gulf Co-operation Council, which are welcome, and it is—to some—an unexpected step that they are being so forthright in asking for a no-fly zone, but my hon. Friend is absolutely right: were that to happen, it should go ahead on the basis of the broadest amount of international support and participation, and crucially that should include participation by Arab states themselves, which do have the assets to bring to bear.
