Proceeding contribution from Richard Ottaway (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 7 June 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Middle East and North Africa.


Middle East and North Africa

I welcome the Foreign Secretary's statement and congratulate him on his visit to Benghazi with the International Development Secretary, which was right and timely. There is a gap between the humanitarian nature of resolution 1973 and the stated aim of removing Gaddafi. Russia's shift of position means that a further UN resolution on Libya is conceivable. Does the Foreign Secretary believe that such a further resolution is necessary?
