Proceeding contribution from Bob Stewart (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 9 February 2012. It occurred during Debate on Somalia.


Somalia

I was spurred into action by my hon. Friend's comments about Royal Marines going ashore. As part of our initiative, I think we should plan to put anti-piracy headquarters, protected by Royal Marines, in Somalia, perhaps Mogadishu, so that we can get a grip on piracy along the coast. That is the only way to do it. At the moment, we are fiddling around in the large ocean. We want to get a base onshore and sort it out. If possible, that should be considered at the London conference.
