Proceeding contribution from David Winnick (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 9 November 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Middle East and North Africa.


Middle East and North Africa

The Iranian regime is dreadful. Its tyrannies are is notorious and we all condemn it—at least I hope we all do. Does the Foreign Secretary accept, however, that any military attack on that regime would be counter-productive and have devastating consequences in the region? Will he give a commitment now that under no circumstances will this country be involved directly or indirectly in any such attack?
