Proceeding contribution from Lord West of Spithead (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 21 March 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Libya.


Libya

My Lords, perhaps I may carry on that theme by suggesting to the Leader of the House that it is not a question just of the Arab League giving diplomatic support. Will he assure the House that we will ensure that the Arab League takes part militarily in the operation—the more members, the better—and that if it does not, and if we find that Arab support evaporates, we will think very hard about extricating ourselves from this military action?
