Proceeding contribution from Barry Gardiner (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
On 18 March the Prime Minister said:"““The resolution helps to enforce the arms embargo, and our legal understanding is that that arms embargo applies to the whole of Libya.””—[Official Report, 18 March 2011; Vol. 525, c. 623.]" That has been reinforced by the Foreign Secretary today. Can he therefore tell us what active measures NATO forces are taking to stop the supply of any arms to the rebel forces from outside Libya, or is it in fact the truth that NATO is the military wing of the rebel forces in a civil war?
