Proceeding contribution from Lord Austin of Dudley (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
Many people listening to the statement will be very surprised that the Foreign Secretary devoted so much more time to criticising Israel than to criticising Iran's attempts to develop nuclear weapons, which threaten the stability of the entire region and could trigger a regional arms race and threaten Israel's very existence. In addition, he did not have a single word to say about terrorist attacks on Israel sponsored by Iran. What conversations has he had with his international counterparts about an increased sanctions regime and any other measures designed to bring Iran to its senses?
