Proceeding contribution from Lord Dodds of Duncairn (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 30 March 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Libya (London Conference).


Libya (London Conference)

May I pay tribute to the work that our servicemen and women—the RAF and the Navy—are doing once again on our behalf and the way in which they are carrying out those operations, minimising civilian casualties? We endorse the careful and cautious approach of the Foreign Secretary and the Government because of the concerns about al-Qaeda. Will the Foreign Secretary address the issue that was raised earlier about the role of fighters from eastern Libya in Afghanistan and elsewhere? What knowledge can he bring to the House about that and the role of al-Qaeda links in Libya today?
