Budget Resolutions and Economic Situation (21 Mar 2005)

Mr Peter Bottomley: ...Folk to nil. The Woodcraft Folk employ five people and provide activity for 9,000 young people. The Woodcraft Folk were started by the socialists. The Woodcraft Folk appear to have made the mistake of being against the Iraq war. If the Government are penalising them for being a peace movement when their activity for children is just as good as that of the Boys' Brigade, the Scouts, the...

European Council (15 Dec 2003)

Mr Peter Bottomley: There was obvious pleasure in Iraq and elsewhere when Paul Bremer announced the apprehending of Saddam Hussein. Will the Prime Minister take a bit of advice? It is better to refer to those who are suspected or accused of war crimes rather than to those who are guilty of war crimes. That would make a trial seem fairer and, probably, be fairer. On the referendum on Europe, if people want a...

Iraq (10 Apr 2003)

Mr Peter Bottomley: ...decision of the right hon. Member for Birmingham, Ladywood (Clare Short) to stay in the Government? That has helped many people to understand that the purpose of the action is to benefit the Iraqi people, both in and outside Iraq. In the coming months, will the Foreign Secretary give attention to whether far more can be done to spread the message around the world that very few wars are...

Iraq (21 Mar 2003)

Mr Peter Bottomley: May I ask the Secretary of State to consider the future not just of Iraq, but of our servicemen? Many ex-servicemen served in Iraq in the earlier war and many who are serving there now will retire. If they retire to France, they will get inflation-proof pension increases, but if they retire to, say, Australia, they will not. That is manifestly unfair and I hope that he will consider that in time.

International Women's Day (6 Mar 2003)

Mr Peter Bottomley: I think that all hon. Members agree that a peaceful solution would be desirable, but it is a question of how we get there. Allowing the present regime to continue in Iraq is not the right way, and I say in solidarity with the Prime Minister that I look forward to the day when all the refugees from Iraq can return there, including many women. In El Salvador, I had the experience of meeting...

International Women's Day (6 Mar 2003)

Mr Peter Bottomley: ...partly by example, partly by exhortation, partly by experience and partly by education. The progress that we make in this country is nothing compared with the progress needed in places such as Iraq, Zimbabwe and the Great Lakes region. We have achieved much, but there is still so much more to do, to make people's lives better.

North Atlantic Council (11 Feb 2003)

Mr Peter Bottomley: ...the meeting this afternoon will lead to an overcoming of the difficulties. Does the Minister agree with me and, I hope, the British people in general that the best way to stand with the people of Iraq, their neighbours and Turkey is for us to go on standing with the United States?

Iraq and Weapons of Mass Destruction (24 Sep 2002)

Mr Peter Bottomley: Many of our constituents are aware that our military forces are in action over Iraq, as the Prime Minister has said. Whether further action will be necessary if Saddam does not comply depends on whether it is right, whether it is necessary, whether it will work and whether we care. The dossier spells out the consequences if we do not care. May I pass to the Prime Minister a view of some of my...

Prayers: The Gulf (Ecology) (15 Mar 1991)

Mr Peter Bottomley: ...who have to go through it. It is to be avoided if possible. With Saddam Hussein, it was not possible. I hope that we can now clear up the consequences of his actions. I hope that it is possible for Iraq to reach the stage of choosing its own Government and that there are not the massacres in Iraq, as people fight for political control, that, sadly, have occurred in El Salvador and many...

The Gulf (18 Feb 1991)

Mr Peter Bottomley: As the BBC has itself said that its correspondents are not approved to go where they want in Iraq when they want and that they cannot enter Kuwait, would it not be a good idea if my right hon. Friend could arrange for the dissenters in this House to go to Baghdad to explain the policy of the official Opposition, the policy of the House and the policy of the United Nations and every member of...

Namibia Bill (5 Feb 1991)

Mr Peter Bottomley: ...the world. The reputation of the Commonwealth and of other bodies for encouraging people to get away from subjugation to minority groups could be a great advantage, as we have seen in places like Iraq, where the richness of the ruler contrasts with the poverty of the ruled. I suspect that one could use that advantage in terms of flexible economic systems and flexible fiscal systems. My...

Israel (Iraqi Attack) (18 Jan 1991)

Mr Peter Bottomley: Does my right hon. Friend agree that this is the third unprovoked attack by Iraq on a fellow middle east country, following the attacks on Iran and Kuwait? Building on the point made by the right hon. Member for Plymouth, Devonport (Dr. Owen), does my right hon. Friend accept that what the majority of Arab nations understand and what the minority in this country and the House do not yet...

Iraq (Exports) (3 Dec 1990)

Mr Peter Bottomley: Is not one of the differences between Iraq and this country the fact that a newspaper here can raise such issues? Is not one of the differences between this country and Iraq the fact that Parliament can respond to it? Is not one of the differences between Iraq and this country the fact that the trade association or The Sunday Times could publish the whole of the note that was made by the...

Orders of the Day — Industry and Transport (9 Nov 1990)

Mr Peter Bottomley: ...matters but the political process and some of the economic freedoms that we have managed to enshrine in our system. One of the messages that will go out from the Queen's Speech debate—beyond Iraq and Kuwait, terrible as those events are—is that, by spreading the idea of democracy, open society and robust debate and disagreement, we shall do a great deal more for future...
