Lady Hermon: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what recent assessment he has made of the earliest
possible date for the holding of elections in Iraq; and what steps he is taking to expedite such an election. [157652]
Mr. Rammell: The Special Envoy of the UN Secretary-General, Lakhdar Brahimi, visited Iraq in February to look into the processes and
timing of elections. His report, issued on 23 February, made clear that elections were not feasible before the end of 2004 at
the earliest. We accept this assessment and stand ready to support the UN and the Iraqis in preparing for elections based on the
UN's suggested timetable. We have worked hard with the Iraqis to agree a Transitional Administrative Law, an essential step towards
early elections.
