Proceeding contribution from Lord Ashdown of Norton-sub-Hamdon (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 21 March 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Libya.


Libya

My Lords, perhaps I can invite the Minister to clarify that point which might be open to misunderstanding. Although it is true that the UN Security Council resolution forbids or does not cover any invasion or occupation, there is nothing in that resolution which would inhibit us using military assets to do something like rescue a downed pilot.
