Orders of the Day: Adjournment (Summer Recess) (25 Jul 2006)

David Tredinnick: ...British Government who—I say this really of the Foreign Secretary—appear to parrot American policy. When a commentator on the Radio 4 "Today" programme asked the Foreign Secretary about Iraq in connection with Lebanon, she appeared to think that there was no connection. She is completely out of touch. We now have the ludicrous situation in which the demand made by the Israelis...

Oral Answers to Questions — Defence: Iraq (24 Jul 2006)

David Tredinnick: Does the right hon. Gentleman accept that our troops' reconstruction role in southern Iraq has been made much more difficult by the Government's failure to condemn at an early stage Israeli forces' attacks on civilian targets in Lebanon? That is a real concern, because whereas we have no troops stationed in Israel, we have thousands of troops stationed across Arabia, and many of our Arab...

Written Answers — Defence: Iraq (22 May 2006)

David Tredinnick: ...Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment he has made of the effect of human rights legislation on the ability of members of the UK armed services to respond to incidents on active duty in Iraq with due regard to their own safety.

Iraq (10 Apr 2003)

Mr David Tredinnick: Does the Secretary of State agree that it is vital that there be no reason for the liberated people of southern Iraq to turn against British troops? Those of us who served in Northern Ireland in 1969 remember when the Catholics turned against the British forces. Will he also recall the success of the use of British police and they way they helped during the elections in the run-up to the...

Iraq (Military Operations) (26 Mar 2003)

Mr David Tredinnick: Will the Secretary of State tell the House about the status under international law of Iraqi soldiers who dress as civilians and are then caught? Do they have the same status as regular soldiers in uniform? Will he also tell the House whether he thinks it wise to talk of large groups of Iraqis as having no future in the new, post-Saddam Iraq? I am thinking in particular of elite soldiers, who...

Iraq and Israel/Palestine (10 Mar 2003)

Mr David Tredinnick: When the Prime Minister came before the Liaison Committee recently, I asked him about the situation in Iraq if there was a war and what British forces would be doing afterwards. Can the Foreign Secretary confirm that it is quite likely that British forces would assume a disproportionate amount of the burden in a post-war Iraq? Can he further confirm that it is a commonly held view that one of...

International Terrorism (4 Oct 2001)

Mr David Tredinnick: ...have a great opportunity to build that alliance. Iran has suddenly come in from the cold. I do not disagree with the hon. Member for Linlithgow (Mr. Dalyell)—we should take another look at Iraq. It has had sanctions for 10 years, yet the problem remains. Now that we have the possibility of dramatic change, let us at least address it. It is important that somebody should be finding...

Kuwait (17 Oct 1994)

Mr David Tredinnick: Does my right hon. and learned Friend agree that if a troop exclusion zone as well as an air exclusion zone had been imposed in southern Iraq at the end of the Gulf war, this problem would probably not have occurred? Does he think that a troop exclusion zone, or a total exclusion zone, would benefit the marsh Arabs who have suffered dreadfully?

Points of Order (19 Jan 1993)

Mr David Tredinnick: ...order, Madam Speaker. I have been trying to follow the ruling that you have just given, and I do not want to transgress in any way, but it occurs to me that perhaps the deployment of forces in the Iraq theatre is related, in that the numbers of troops—

Prayers: United Nations Operations (25 Sep 1992)

Mr David Tredinnick: ...should use it. My hon. Friend the Member for Davyhulme (Mr. Churchill) pleaded for an aircraft carrier to be sent as a reserve, and that must be right when one considers the exclusion zone in north Iraq and the efforts that we are making to help the Shias in the marshes in the south in the same way, which have been a huge success. We should note also what hapened to the Ukranian battalion...

Orders of the Day — Soviet Union and Eastern Europe (4 Mar 1991)

Mr David Tredinnick: ...be in a much more powerful position. It is a time of great heart searching for the Soviet army, which has lost Afghanistan, the front line in eastern Europe and, recently, an important client—Iraq. I have argued that we may be stopping reforms by restricting aid to the USSR, so let us not lose sight of the fact that President Gorbachev has moved away from confrontation. It is better...

The Gulf (18 Feb 1991)

Mr David Tredinnick: My right hon. Friend may not be aware that a constituent of mine is so incensed by the BBC coverage of propaganda from Iraq that he has described the BBC as the Baghdad Broadcasting Corporation. Will my right hon. Friend issue further guidance on this aspect?

Oral Answers to Questions — Prime Minister: Engagements (17 Jan 1991)

Mr David Tredinnick: My right hon. Friend will be aware of the assessment by General Colin Powell of the United States joint chiefs of staff that 80 per cent. of the sorties against Iraq have been effective. Is not that a remarkable achievement and a great credit to the allied forces? Does not the pinpoint bombing that we have seen on the news illustrate that there will not be the civilian casualties in Iraq...
