Proceeding contribution from Lord Hague of Richmond (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 13 October 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Middle East and North Africa.


Middle East and North Africa

Yes, I very much agree. In line with my earlier answer to our hon. Friend the Member for Ilford North (Mr Scott), that is absolutely right. That gesture is a glimmer of hope, but it is very good news in the individual case of Gilad Shalit. In terms of the overall scene we should not overstate it, as it is a glimmer of hope, but all sides should now seek to build on it.
