Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Corbyn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 26 April 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Middle East and North Africa.
Middle East and North Africa
May I congratulate the Foreign Secretary on delivering an absolutely brilliant piece of Foreign Office speak for the last 10 minutes? He assured us that there was to be no ground intervention, yet military forces are being sent to assist the British diplomatic mission. He assured us that there was no intention of regime change, and then promptly called for a regime change. What exactly is the Government's position on Libya? Is it to have a partition; is it the overthrow of Gaddafi; is it to hand over the oil and banking interests to Qatar; is it the sale of arms to the whole region? What on earth are the Government's long-term intentions on Libya? Will he please explain?
