Proceeding contribution from Lord Hague of Richmond (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 6 February 2012. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Syria.


Syria

I absolutely agree with my right hon. Friend, as he could gather from my earlier replies. This is why the international coalition should include nations well beyond Europe and the Arab world. I discussed the matter this morning, for instance, with the Foreign Minister of Australia, which is keen to be a participant. Across the Commonwealth as well as across the Arab and European communities, there will be a demand to be involved in that wide coalition. We will pursue that very energetically in the hours and days ahead.
