Proceeding contribution from Edward Leigh (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
Will the Foreign Secretary say a bit more about post-war planning? As we saw in Iraq, getting rid of a bloody tyrant in the middle east is a lot easier than ensuring stability afterwards. Let me press him more particularly on these talks with Italian experts. What exactly does that mean? Benghazi and Tripoli were divided for centuries before the Italians imposed unity. What evidence is there that Tripoli will co-operate with the national transitional council after the fall of Gaddafi, if he does fall?
