Proceeding contribution from Boris Johnson (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 18 April 2017. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Syria and North Korea.


Syria and North Korea

I am grateful for that question because there was never a proposition for general sanctions against Russia, for instance. That was a piece of media ectoplasm, if you like, Mr Speaker. We have strong support for the idea of taking the evidence that the fact-finding mission will accumulate, using it to isolate the individuals who may have been responsible—by the way, there may be Russian military advisers who are complicit—and not only imposing sanctions on them, which I know my hon. Friend agrees would be the right thing to do, but arraigning them for war crimes.
