Proceeding contribution from Lord Cameron of Chipping Norton (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 28 March 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Libya/European Council.
Libya/European Council
That is the arrangement that has been put in place. Obviously, it is both NATO's command and control structure and its machinery that everyone has agreed to use. The point that the French have made—I think that this is important—is that we should ensure that the world knows that this is not just a NATO operation, but that Arab countries are involved and that there is a broader coalition and alliance. Given that we have the NATO machinery, it makes sense to use it. I think that one should make those practical arguments, rather than getting too caught up in the theology.
