[Mr. Joe Benton in the Chair] — Global Security (Iran) (9 Jul 2009)

Andrew MacKinlay: ...late; that we have appeased; that we have been asleep on the job. None the less, we have the audacity to say that other countries are not being resolute and strong in homing in on those who export terrorism and other things that involve loss of life around the world. When the Minister responds, I hope that he specifically addresses the question of the export of weapons of terror to the...

Intelligence and Security Committee (7 May 2009) has video

Andrew MacKinlay: ...answered with some expedition, because they are very pertinent. I do not think that he will be offended by this, but I had not realised that he was Chairman of the Home Affairs Committee's counter-terrorism sub-committee. That is significant for me, because in that context I deem him to be not a Back Bencher but the Chairman of a significant parliamentary Committee, meaning in turn that I...

That is the backdrop. I acknowledge the helpful response that I received, as did those of us in the...

Andrew MacKinlay: ...is pride in uniform. I appreciate that we now encourage our armed forces to wear uniform whenever possible, and I understand why that did not happen in the past 20 years for reasons of combating terrorism, but we need to do far more. In a future debate, perhaps we could consider not merely using our reserve armed forces as ways of filling gaps or of simply bringing in special...

Andrew MacKinlay: ...for having caught your eye, Mr. Deputy Speaker. Let me make it clear that I acknowledge that the intelligence and security community has had enormous successes on behalf of all of us in combating terrorism, and I wish it well in that continuing role.

Andrew MacKinlay: ...that the applicant"— namely the Home Secretary— "could not reasonably have formed a view when the decision letter was written in 2006 that the PMOI intended in future to revert to terrorism."

[Mr. Edward O'Hara in the Chair] — Iran (External Involvement) (23 May 2007)

Andrew MacKinlay: ...to which we have an entirely different response from that to other regimes in other parts of the world that perpetrate the same actions. Belarus is a pretty awful regime, but it does not export terror. Yet we do not entertain officials from Belarus and our relations are in deep freeze. As far as I am aware, we do not welcome to the United Kingdom formal delegations from the Belarus...

Andrew MacKinlay: ...is the fact that the PMOI has used the European Court of First Instance to secure some remedy. The Court challenged the European Union and, implicitly, the United Kingdom, to produce evidence of terrorism, but it has failed to do so.

Let that be realised; no survival for the British Empire, no survival for all that the British...

Andrew MacKinlay: ...robust in criticising the Iranian regime as being made up of people who provide ordnance, arms and ammunition to insurgents in Iraq and elsewhere around the world. The regime is clearly exporting terror and encouraging suicide bombers in some of the terrible, tragic hotspots in its region. The Prime Minister has been fairly consistent. For example, one of his most recent utterances on the...

Iran (UK Policy) (25 Apr 2007)

Andrew MacKinlay: ...the opportunity to rebut it. I suspect that it has not been furnished because it does not exist. That is the first thing. Secondly, when the PMOI asserted to the court that it was not engaged in terrorism, the defendants—namely the Council of Ministers, at the instigation of the British Government—again refused to rebut the claim of innocence. That state of affairs is very...
