My right hon. Friend is absolutely right in supporting this motion, but may I press him on our role in the world and how it is perceived by people outside? This hokey-cokey approach to international conflicts concerns many people who have just seen thousands of innocent Palestinians murdered while we...

That this House believes that Iran's theocratic regime is the source of the spread of terrorism and barbaric extremism in Iraq and region; concurs with the President-elect of the Iranian Resistance Maryam Rajavi's advice that the UK should urge the ending of the Iranian theocratic regime meddling in the affairs of Iraq, Syria and other countries in the region, the formation of a democratic, inclusive, secular government in Iraq and the organisation of free and fair elections under the auspices of international organisations; further believes that the rejection of Iran's intervention by the new Iraqi government is vital for the promotion of democracy in that country and that a good indication of this is the way it treats Ashraf residents now at Camp Liberty near Baghdad; and urges the government of Iraq to lift the current inhumane siege on the camp, recognising this camp as a UN refugee camp and guarantee the safety, security and the rights of its residents.

That this House is aware of the tragic events that took place in Camp Ashraf in the early morning of 1 September 2013, when an armed raid led by Iraqi forces who needlessly slaughtered at least 52 persons and kidnapped a number of other people who remain hostages; condemns unreservedly the actions which led to these deaths, with many of the deceased appearing to have died of gunshot wounds, the majority of which were to the head and upper body and several with their hands tied; reminds the Iraqi government of its human rights responsibilities and that those killed and taken were protected persons under the terms of the Geneva Convention; and demands the safe release of those held and an immediate and full inquiry into these actions.

May I take my right hon. Friend back to the question of commitment and remind him that the tooth fairy does not deliver equipment—it has to be manufactured and, we hope, manufactured in this country? As a defence worker during the late '80s and '90s, I well recall the thousands...

Does the Prime Minister agree that one of the measures of the progress of democracy in Iraq is the fact that its own citizens, and, indeed, its journalists, can protest against their own leaders and world leaders—as happened with President Bush—without the fear of death, while under the previous Administration...

The right hon. and learned Gentleman is obviously well versed in these issues. He mentioned the ambitious challenge for President-elect Obama in trying to reduce weapons in the US. Does he share the concerns that that challenge may not be achievable, given that there are elements in the US that...

My hon. Friend may be aware that there are already threats of job losses on the Clyde if those aircraft carrier orders are not placed. It would certainly be helpful if we could have a clear statement from the Minister today on the situation with those carriers.

My hon. Friend raises the important point of recognising the role that our troops play. When they return home, they should be recognised, but there should be consistency. Everyone returning home, and not just the privileged few, should receive the recognition that their role deserves.

While we are on the subject of helicopters, does the hon. Gentleman agree with me, and with the general public's perception, rightly or wrongly, that helicopters should be used to their full capacity and should not be used by privileged service personnel to visit their girlfriends?

That this House regrets the loss of life following recent Turkish bombardments on the border with Iraqi Kurdistan; warmly welcomes the meeting at the end of April in Baghdad between the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) delegation led by Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani and the delegation from the Republic of Turkey headed by Mr Ahmet Davutoglu, the senior adviser to the Turkish Prime Minister, Mr Murat ??zcelik, the Special Co-ordinator for Iraqi Affairs at the Turkish Foreign Ministry and Mr Derya Kanbay, Turkey's Ambassador in Baghdad; notes that this first high-level official meeting of both sides, which focused on a wide range of political, security and economic issues between Turkey and the KRG, was conducted in a cordial and open atmosphere in which both sides stressed similar views on many issues and expressed a desire for common understanding and interests; and hopes that this meeting will enable good neighbourly relations and the resolution of common problems through co-operation, political negotiation and dialogue.

That this House regrets the decision to refuse a work permit for the purposes of joining Manchester City to Iraqi footballer Nashat Akram, who played a major role in the Iraqi national squad's victory in the recent Asia Cup, on the grounds that, at 72nd in the international rankings, Iraq falls just outside the basket of 70 teams from which such candidates can be considered; notes that football is a great unifying force in Iraq and that Nashat's transfer to a major league team would also do much to boost the sport in Iraq; further notes the judgement of Manchester City Manager Sven-G??ran Eriksson, that Nashat is a very good footballer with an excellent pedigree; and urges that consideration be given to the Iraqi Government request to revise this decision in the light of the fact that Iraqi football needs nurturing after several decades of fascist-type rule by the Ba'athists which isolated and hampered Iraqi football.

I do not wish to be pedantic, but the hon. Gentleman has repeatedly used the term ““undermanned””. He should remember that there are women in our armed services.

That this House notes that Iraq's economy is heavily dependent on oil and that decisions about the future of Iraq's oil industry will have a major bearing on that country; further notes that the constitution of Iraq states that oil and gas are owned by all the people of Iraq; expresses concern that the British Government, in its involvement in the drafting of Iraq's new oil laws, has sought the views of international oil companies regarding the possible types of contracts that the Iraqi government should offer; believes that decisions on the Iraqi oil industry should be made by the Iraqi people without outside interference; and calls on the Government to disclose to the House all representations it has made in relation to the oil law.
