Nicholas Winterton: ...enhancing their morale?

Oral Answers to Questions — Defence: Selly Oak Hospital (14 May 2007)

Nicholas Winterton: I am pleased that the Minister, for whom I have a high regard, has mentioned the psychiatric care available to our service personnel, both men and women, who return from Iraq or Afghanistan suffering, in many cases, from trauma as a result of their horrific experiences in operational areas. Is he satisfied with the level of psychiatric and psychological care available to our service personnel...

Business of the House (11 Jan 2007)

Nicholas Winterton: On a point of clarification, will the Leader of the House say whether the debate on Iraq and the middle east will also cover Afghanistan? My substantive question deals with a matter that is very much the right hon. Gentleman's responsibility. He knows that the Modernisation Committee is beginning an inquiry into enhancing the role of Back-Bench MPs and the use of non-legislative time. Will he...

Business of the House (7 Dec 2006)

Nicholas Winterton: May I return to the Iraq review report, which is perhaps the most important issue facing this Parliament and other democracies at this time? Is it not important that we in no way undermine the morale of our service personnel in Iraq, while showing total solidarity with, and support for, the fledgling democracy in Iraq? Is it not important, therefore, that the Prime Minister, who is in the...

Court Martial Judgment (7 Nov 2005)

Nicholas Winterton: ...done anything seriously wrong, should there not be unimpeachable evidence that they have done so before a prosecution is brought? I believe that we are treating our armed forces—not only in Iraq but in Northern Ireland, those who serve and those who have retired—in a grotesque and unacceptable way.

Business of the House (17 Jun 2004)

Mr Nicholas Winterton: ...the debate on Zimbabwe. I hope that the Foreign Secretary will open the debate, as it is a matter of very considerable importance. To some of us it is as important as the matters relating to Iraq, but my question is to do with how the House operates. Will the right hon. Gentleman take very seriously the problems facing many Select Committees, which are finding it difficult to get a quorum...

Iraq (17 May 2004)

Mr Nicholas Winterton: I am rather disappointed that, in the debate so far, we have been so negative about the role that UK troops have played in Iraq. I believe that we have done a magnificent job. Will the Secretary of State advise the House of the role that he foresees over the next six weeks and beyond 30 June for British forces, who I believe are the finest in the world? We need to say that, to give them...

G8 Summit (4 Jun 2003)

Mr Nicholas Winterton: I welcome most warmly the Prime Minister's statement this afternoon; I accept that conflict in Iraq was necessary with or without weapons of mass destruction. Does he agree that the situation in Zimbabwe continues to deteriorate, and that that is affecting the security and economic position not only of that country but of the countries that surround it? Does he acknowledge that the only way...

Iraq and European Council (24 Mar 2003)

Mr Nicholas Winterton: ...it is true, as has been claimed in a number of tabloid newspapers, that a chemical plant has been discovered by coalition forces? Secondly, will he confirm whether Turkish troops have entered Iraq from the north? If he can do so, I am sure that a great many people will be reassured.

Iraq (18 Mar 2003)

Mr Nicholas Winterton: ...to enable them to do an excellent job. The history that was so accurately sketched by the Prime Minister is right. We have had 17 resolutions since April 1991. The first, resolution 687, required Iraq to "make a declaration within 15 days of the location and amounts" of its weapons of mass destruction. It is now 4,380-plus days since that resolution, and we are a further 16 resolutions on....

Oral Answers to Questions — Prime Minister: Engagements (5 Feb 2003)

Mr Nicholas Winterton: I recognise the Prime Minister's principled and courageous position on Iraq, weapons of mass destruction and the sufferings of the Iraqi people. Will he adopt the same guts and determination towards another brutal despot, Mr. Robert Mugabe, who has brought famine, devastation and violence to the people of Zimbabwe? What advice did he give to his EU partner, President Chirac, and is he...

Business of the House (23 Jan 2003)

Mr Nicholas Winterton: The Leader of the House is concerned about whether this country, together with the United States, enters into a conflict in Iraq. He knows that all hon. Members are also increasingly concerned about it and interested in it, as are the people of this country. Despite the Government's right to use the royal prerogative, is not it possible for the House to have the opportunity to debate Iraq and...

Business of the House (21 Nov 2002)

Mr Nicholas Winterton: ...whom we represent. Bearing in mind the fact that the right hon. Gentleman has announced debates for the next fortnight on referendums, which affect local government, on the future of Europe and on Iraq, does he not believe that the House should spend more time debating rather than legislating? Would it be possible for two days to be allocated for some of the bigger and more important...

Mr Nicholas Winterton: ...Member for Mid-Kent (Mr. Rowe) reminds me of the recent occasion when the United Kingdom appealed to Belgium for help with weaponry and, in particular, ammunition to assist us against a dictator in Iraq. That country—Belgium—which happens to be a member of the European Community, refused to help us and, in the main, we had to fight that fight with our allies from north America....

Lithuania (16 Jan 1991)

Mr Nicholas Winterton: ...hon. Friend have with the Lithuanian Foreign Minister this morning about the Foreign Minister's publicly expressed view that there is a conspiracy between the Soviet Union and the administration in Iraq, and that, while the world's attention is concentrated on the Gulf, it gives the Soviet Union an opportunity to take a stranglehold upon the Baltic states yet again?

The Charming (Iraqi Attack) (8 Mar 1984)

Mr Nicholas Winterton: ..."lethal arms"? What are lethal arms and what are not? Will he confirm that we are not supplying arms of any sort to either side? Will he also confirm that we have no supplied mustard gas to the Iraqis, which the Iranians have accused us of doing? Will he also say what further positive initiative the United Kingdom is making at the United Nations and what discussions it is having with its...
