Nigel Evans: ...is to give the people who have lived in that place for many years—no doubt children have been born there, and all they know will be Ashraf—the support that we have given to the rest of Iraq and its people, so that they can live a decent life in the present period.

[Mr. Joe Benton in the Chair] — Ashraf (Geneva Convention) (25 Mar 2009)

Nigel Evans: ..., my great fear is about what the consequences will be if the 3,500 people in question are taken to Iran.

I suspect we can even understand the possibility of secret negotiations involving our Government, the American Government and...

[Mr. Joe Benton in the Chair] — Ashraf (Geneva Convention) (25 Mar 2009)

Nigel Evans: Is my hon. Friend as mystified as I am that although this country has contributed billions to an operation to release the people of Iraq from a hideous regime, we have no influence over the new democratic regime in seeking to bring about proper, humane living conditions for one group of people? Why do we have no influence when we have spent all this money releasing the people of Iraq?

Nigel Evans: Does the hon. Gentleman not also find it ironic that although one benefit of the Iraq war is that the people of Iraq have been released from one of the most hideous regimes, under the tyrant Saddam Hussein, one consequence of that—what now could occur—is that a group of people in Camp Ashraf could be taken from a new, democratic country and put into Iran, which is another hideous...

Sittings of the House: Burma (29 Oct 2007)

Nigel Evans: ...in Geneva not long ago, and I pay tribute to the right hon. Member for Cynon Valley; Burma was debated as an emergency resolution.

I sat on the committee that considered the resolution asking for arms sanctions against the country. That anybody should be...

Public Bill Committee: Civil Contingencies Bill: Clause 3 - Section 2: supplemental (27 Jan 2004)

Mr Nigel Evans: ...Some hon. Members scoff at what they consider to be pedestrian questions, and ask why I am even putting them. I will tell the hon. Member for Ealing, North why: we expected the people serving in Iraq to get the resources for the job that we were asking them to do. In some cases, they did not get them and had to buy their own equipment to take with them. When they were ordered to give up...

Public Bill Committee: Civil Contingencies Bill: Clause 3 - Section 2: supplemental (27 Jan 2004)

Mr Nigel Evans: ...that I am talking about, but there will certainly be resource implications. Some things that I have read in the newspapers recently about the lack of kit with which our soldiers went to war in Iraq worry me. We were told that they would get kit, but it is clear from the stories direct from the front that kit was not getting through, for whatever reason. I hope that the Minister can...

Mr Nigel Evans: ...was a likely terrorist target. It was not thought to be high on the list of countries that might be attacked, unlike the United States of America and the United Kingdom—especially since the Iraq war, I suspect.

Welsh Affairs (12 Mar 2003)

Mr Nigel Evans: ...Minister on the build-up and preparation for action. I have no doubt that, if it were not for the actions that have been taken so far, Blix and the weapons inspectors would have been nowhere near Iraq now.
