Proceeding contribution from Jack Straw (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 13 December 2011. It occurred during Legislative debate on Prevention of Nuclear Proliferation.


Prevention of Nuclear Proliferation

I sought to intervene on the Minister when he started talking about other countries. One of the things that slightly surprises me about this measure, whatever its merits, is that only two other countries supported it, which left us rather isolated and an easy target for the thugs in Tehran. Why did the Government not discuss and then take steps to agree with as many European Union partners as possible a similar measure in advance of this measure being promulgated?
