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

As I mentioned, I do not rule that out. If we were to do that, I would like us to act in concert with other nations. Therefore, what other nations do is a factor, and we will keep in close consultation with our European and Arab partners on this. But there are considerations to set against that and reasons to maintain an embassy, if possible, which I also mentioned earlier. So this is about a balance between those considerations.
