Proceeding contribution from Bob Stewart (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
I lived for three years in Yemen, for three years in Bahrain and also in Jordan. I was always told not to make any comment about the Sunni or Shi'a branches of Islamic religion. May I ask the Foreign Secretary to ensure, as I am sure he is doing, that our diplomats are utterly bipartisan and as neutral as possible in this matter, because it has a knock-on effect elsewhere, for example, dare I say it, in trade?
