- Oral Answers to Questions — Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs: Iraq (16 Apr 2002)
Mr Greg Pope: Does my right hon. Friend agree that Iraq is a cause of not only regional instability but global instability; that it is right that UN weapons inspectors be allowed free and unfettered access to Saddam's weapons of mass destruction; and that if that access is denied and that denial continues, we, the international community, have the right under existing UN resolutions to take action?
