Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Corbyn (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

The Minister has been speaking for about 10 minutes, during which he has come from expressing concerns about Iran's nuclear activities to discussing financial regulations. He would, however, recognise that Iran remains a signatory to the nuclear non-proliferation treaty. Does the Minister not think that a serious diplomatic initiative by all members subscribed to the nuclear non-proliferation treaty would be a more fruitful way of dealing with the issue, rather than descending to what some of us fear will be a much more serious situation, including possible military conflict with Iran?
