Proceeding contribution from Stephen Phillips (Conservative) 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
Two matters are now clear beyond peradventure in relation to Iran. First, that Iran is in the process of acquiring nuclear weapons; secondly, that the existing sanctions regime has not worked at all in seeking to deter it from that course. Russia and China stand in the way of the further sanctions that my right hon. Friend has indicated it would be the Government's intention to seek, but we have friends in the middle east who can exercise their own pressure on both Russia and China. Will he give an undertaking that that is precisely what the Government will seek to do with those friends in the middle east?
