Christian Community (Iraq) (8 Dec 2004)

Mr Gary Streeter: ...-sacrifice and courage. Sometimes people—notably John Lennon in his song "Imagine"—consider that the world would be a better place without religion. I do not believe that. The acts of terrorism that are being carried out in Iraq are done by bad people. If religion is used as a motivation, that is an abuse of their religion and is not excused by it. There is a particular problem...

War against Terrorism (4 Nov 2004)

Mr Gary Streeter: ...British common sense and responsibility. The Prime Minister is well placed to become more assertive. I will mention the main focus of the report, and start as others have done on the war against terror being fought in Iraq. We have seen many external insurgents, such as al-Zarqawi, pouring into Iraq, and my right hon. Friend the Member for Tonbridge and Malling (Sir John Stanley) made a...

War against Terrorism (4 Nov 2004)

Mr Gary Streeter: ...that they were having that debate. None the less, something is moving there. In his very enjoyable speech, the hon. Member for Hyndburn (Mr. Pope) spoke of not allowing countries to use the war against terror as an excuse for human rights abuses, and I think, in particular, of Uzbekistan. Will the Minister confirm that our man in Tashkent was not recalled simply because he was robust on...

War against Terrorism (4 Nov 2004)

Mr Gary Streeter: ...like to finish where I started by thanking the Foreign Affairs Committee for its excellent work. The United Kingdom has a significant role to play in international affairs and the war against terror, and the Committee's excellent work is very much part and parcel of that.

UK-US Relations (3 Nov 2004)

Mr Gary Streeter: ...Minister are a welcome recipe, because there are no issues more important in the world today than resolving that conflict. If we are to resolve or diminish the underlying causes of the war against terror, the most important thing that we can do, apart from taking a gradual approach and attacking global poverty, is to resolve the running sore of the middle east conflict. It seems that...

UK-US Relations (3 Nov 2004)

Mr Gary Streeter: I am interested in the hon. Gentleman's speech. Does he think that President Bush picked a fight with global terrorists and invited 9/11 to happen, and does he think that we can negotiate with these people peacefully and reach some kind of settlement? Is not the war against global terror a particularly unusual war, in that it must be won by military means ?

UK Citizens Detained by US Immigration Service (20 Oct 2004)

Mr Gary Streeter: .... It was the first time since Pearl harbour that the world's only superpower had experienced an attack on its mainland. It is no wonder that the country reacted in such a way and declared war on terror. If we are fully to understand world events, we must not underestimate the true impact of that frightful moment on the corporate psyche of the most powerful nation in the world. When the...

Inter-Parliamentary Union (15 Jul 2004)

Mr Gary Streeter: ...two world wars, the rise and fall of various tyrannical dictators, the division of the world into two hostile blocs during the cold war, and now the confusion and uncertainty of the war on terror and a fast changing world. It is difficult to measure the contribution of the IPU during that period, but I have no doubt that it has played its full part in contributing to global co-operation...

Oral Answers to Questions — Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs: Israel (13 Jul 2004)

Mr Gary Streeter: ...not recognise both the Israeli need for security and legitimate Palestinian concerns about the wall's route and impact, enabling a step-by-step approach to be taken so that, as suicide bombing and terror diminish, parts of the wall could be rerouted or dismantled? Is that not something that the Quartet might take forward?

War against Terrorism (20 May 2004)

Mr Gary Streeter: I commend the Committee for this excellent report, which builds on earlier reports on the important issue of terrorism. I also commend the right hon. Member for Swansea, East (Donald Anderson) for his chairmanship. Like him, I have read the report recently and have been struck by the changes that have happened since it was filed, and even since the Government responded to it in March, just...

War against Terrorism (20 May 2004)

Mr Gary Streeter: ...missed, and it seems that yet more are likely to be missed. Is it now intended that those time lines will be renegotiated? Although Israel is rightly concerned about the threat that it faces from terrorism, that does not permit the construction of a security fence on its current route inside occupied territory. Paragraph 30 of the Government's response describes it as "a severe impediment...

Occupied Territories (4 May 2004)

Mr Gary Streeter: ...We all want the same thing: a peaceful, long-term resolution. Those of us who travel widely in the Gulf and who have had dealings with people from backgrounds of all kinds in and around the war on terror recognise that it is not just for the sake of the Palestinians or the Israelis, but for a lasting peace in the middle east, and perhaps a long-term resolution to the war on terror, that we...

Human Rights (Saudi Arabia) (21 Jan 2004)

Mr Gary Streeter: ...we satisfied with it? I recognise that Saudi Arabia is at the crossroads. The winds of change are beginning to blow fiercely through the country. It is facing a struggle with internal dissent and terrorism. It is grappling with population growth that is outstripping economic growth. Sectarian resentments are beginning to grow, and there is an upsurge in radical Islamic activism. Those are...

Iraq (18 Mar 2003)

Mr Gary Streeter: ...war and all its gory consequences, but I hate even more the thought of Saddam Hussein continuing in office. I hate the thought of chemical and biological weapons falling into the hands of suicidal terrorists and of the west once again showing weakness in the face of terror and threat when we should show strength. I have made my decision and I know where I stand: I will support the...

Orders of the Day — Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Bill (19 Nov 2001)

Mr Gary Streeter: ...that the Government would consider it carefully and introduce laws on religious discrimination. However, no one anticipated that they would tack those laws on to emergency legislation dealing with terrorism. That is a significant mistake. It is in the nature of Governments that they will seek to maximise every opportunity to pass legislation in the House, but I regret that they are adding...
