Proceeding contribution from Lord Hague of Richmond (Conservative) 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 position is the one that I have made clear many times before: we are not calling for military action. Our approach is a twin-track approach of negotiations and legitimate peaceful pressure on Iran. We have always said, as previous Governments in this country and other Governments throughout Europe have said, that no option is taken off the table for the future, but we are not advocating military action, and, as I say, our approach is the twin-track approach that I have set out.
