Intelligence and Security Committee (7 May 2009) has video

Dari Taylor: ...something better for our country. Invariably, they cite oil. Well, deploying in the Balkans was anything but that, yet it remains difficult to get those people to understand that we did not spark Iraq, suicide bombers and sectarian warfare. That debate is an important and valuable one. I see some of the youngsters in my community understanding that perhaps they do not have all the answers....

Bills Presented: Iraq: Future Strategic Relationship (14 Jan 2009) has video

Dari Taylor: ...to the House a commonality of sentiment and a drive to persuade us that although we have achieved much so far, there is much more to achieve, and that we can do that and support it whenever the Iraqis should request it. It is also a pleasure to follow my hon. Friend the Member for Pontypridd (Dr. Howells) and my right hon. Friend the Member for Cynon Valley (Ann Clwyd). Both engaged the...

Bills Presented: Iraq: Future Strategic Relationship (14 Jan 2009) has video

Dari Taylor: The hon. Gentleman and I will have to agree to disagree on that. I want to take the House one stage further and reference the statements made by the Iraqi Prime Minister, Nouri al-Maliki. He has made many calculations about the competence of Iraq's army and police force to deliver a secure Iraq in which all civil society can survive. Again, some of his words are quite clear. Although he...

Oral Answers to Questions — Health: Iraq (22 Jul 2008) has video

Millennium Review Summit (26 May 2005)

Dari Taylor: ...regimes must be sorted out. I followed the argument advanced by the hon. Member for Buckingham very keenly. I have been criticised a great deal for the fact that I voted for our troops to be deployed in Iraq. Perhaps I should take care when I say this to the House, but when I see people wringing their hands over Darfur and asking what on earth we should do when a tyrant is ripping his...

Iraq (17 May 2004)

Ms Dari Taylor: My contribution will refer to the opinions of young soldiers who have just returned from Basra and to my beliefs about insurgents, militias and radical clerics, whether from outside or inside Iraq. Last week, some of my daughter's former school friends returned from Basra on leave. I was privy to their conversations but did not take part as I was keen to listen to what the young people were...

National Audit Office Report on Operation Telic (13 Jan 2004)

Ms Dari Taylor: ...right hon. Friend the Secretary of State, who has rightly heaped praise on the British armed forces as they have been deployed, including for the way in which they have worked with communities in Iraq. I would greatly appreciate it if he would widen his praise, because the Territorial Army has been fundamental to the success of the British armed forces. I should be very grateful if he...

National Audit Office Report on Operation Telic (13 Jan 2004)

Ms Dari Taylor: I thank the hon. Gentleman for giving way; I am delighted to see him at the Dispatch Box. Does he agree that the requirement to deploy in Iraq was urgent? If so, does he also accept the statement made in the NAO report that on this occasion—[Interruption.] I am sorry if I am upsetting Liberal Democrat Members. The NAO report stated that the MOD completed its deployment in about half the...

Oral Answers to Questions — Prime Minister: Engagements (17 Dec 2003)

Ms Dari Taylor: ...I am pleased that we are making a commitment to a fair trial. Will my right hon. Friend help to secure fair treatment for a 22-year-old from my constituency, Urslaan Khan, who has been in prison in Iraq for the past six weeks? No evidence of misdeed has been tabled, and no legal representation has been obtained. The young man's parents are positively distraught, as any parent would be. I...

Military Situation in Iraq (9 Sep 2003)

Ms Dari Taylor: Will my right hon. Friend accept the words of Major Ivor Morgan, a constituent of mine who is serving in one of our field hospitals in Iraq? In writing from that field hospital, he makes it clear that the armed forces and Great Britain have a role—to give back to the people of Iraq what we all enjoy in England, namely, a life in which all people are free from tyranny, live equally and...
