Proceeding contribution from Edward Leigh (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 30 March 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Libya (London Conference).


Libya (London Conference)

I strongly agree with the shadow Foreign Secretary and his measured words, and urge extreme caution on my right hon. Friend. Would it not be a double win for al-Qaeda, and would we not start losing support in the Arab world, if we were seen to impose a solution on Libya and at the same time give arms to people who could prove to be Islamist insurgents in the future?
