Proceeding contribution from Lord Cameron of Chipping Norton (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 5 September 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Libya.


Libya

My hon. Friend has made the important point that this would not have happened without the Libyan people. They took the initiative, although we were able to help them. I think it important to the future development of the country for young Libyans in the future to learn about the incredibly heroic things that their fathers and grandfathers did. This was something that the Libyans did for themselves rather than our doing it for them, and—in terms of their history, their pride, and what I hope they will build in their country—that will be fantastically important for the future.
