[Sir John Butterfill in the Chair] — Anti-Semitism (19 Jul 2007)

Andrew Stunell: ...should not be automatically interpreted as an attack on the integrity, the standing or the legitimacy of individuals. Let me give a simple example. I completely condemn the illegal invasion of Iraq, but that does not make me anti-British, except perhaps in the eyes of some right-wing commentators. That invasion does not legitimise terrorist actions against Britons, either at home or...

Orders of the Day: Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Bill (22 Jan 2007)

Andrew Stunell: ...'s own system of measuring targets, inspections and performance, no discernible difference in the models can be determined.

Orders of the Day: Communities and Local Government/Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (20 Nov 2006)

Andrew Stunell: ...the poll tax and the council tax, and now they are introducing the too-early-to-say tax.

Business of the House (29 Apr 2004)

Mr Andrew Stunell: ...the general election, and will he ask her to put in a rather more diligent performance? We welcome the statements that have been made, but is it not time for the House to have a proper debate on Iraq, where we appear to be in a descending spiral of more disorder, more troops, more casualties, and, according to senior diplomats, no plan B?

Electricity Supply (16 Sep 2003)

Mr Andrew Stunell: ...States and Japan, for instance—on a huge scale. We have a diversity of markets from which to buy.

Of course, the country with the largest dependence of all on Russian supply of energy is Poland, yet Poland willingly and freely joined in the Iraq adventure. Incidentally, I would not have done...

Business of the House (10 Jul 2003)

Mr Andrew Stunell: ...'s announcement that there is to be a debate in Westminster Hall on the United Nations on the symbolic date of Thursday 11 September.

Oral Answers to Questions — Defence: Middle East (17 Jun 2002)

Mr Andrew Stunell: May I direct the Secretary of State's attention to Iraq? Is he aware that US officials are now saying that the air strikes in the no-fly zone are no longer primarily aimed at humanitarian objectives, but are directed at opening up the capacity for more widespread bombing in Iraq? Bearing in mind the US President's policy of taking out Saddam Hussein, can the Secretary of State say whether UK...
