Proceeding contribution from Malcolm Rifkind (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 18 March 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on UN Security Council Resolution (Libya).
UN Security Council Resolution (Libya)
May I congratulate the Prime Minister on the superb leadership that he and the Foreign Secretary have given both at home and at the United Nations in securing this resolution, without which the people of Benghazi and of Libya would face a humanitarian disaster? Will the Prime Minister confirm that the UN resolution, which, as he has indicated, refers to"““all necessary measures…to protect…civilian populated areas””," will enable our forces to be used not simply to intercept Libyan aircraft but if necessary to attack heavy artillery, tanks and other military units on the ground that might be threatening civilian populated areas?
