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


Libya

May I congratulate the Prime Minister on his work in going to the UN before any military action was taken in Libya? I reiterate to him that a constituent of mine fled Libya. They were full of nothing but praise. They were from Benghazi and, having been a British citizen originally, they were in fear of their life following the threats that Gaddafi made. Will my right hon. Friend assure the House and the country that the Government's policy will continue to be that no military action will take place anywhere in the world unless it is through the UN or NATO? Will he bear that in mind when recent reports from the US about the possible nuclear aspirations of Iran come into the debate?
