Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Corbyn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 29 August 2013. It occurred during Debate on Syria and the Use of Chemical Weapons.


Syria and the Use of Chemical Weapons

Lady agree that the Government’s position would be far stronger if instead of coming here proposing military action, they had come here to tell us that they were having serious discussions with the new Government in Iran and a new round of talks with Russia, and that they were trying to build a consensus in the region to bring about what must happen at some point—a political solution to this crisis?
