Proceeding contribution from Mike Gapes (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 28 November 2011. It occurred during Debate on North Africa and the Near and Middle East.
North Africa and the Near and Middle East
The Foreign Secretary referred to the welcome decision by the Arab League, but I understand that at least two important neighbours of Syria— Lebanon and Iraq—have said that they will not impose sanctions. Is that because of the influence of Iran, through Hezbollah, and Iraqi political parties, and does he feel that Iran could play a very negative role in the process?
