Extraordinary Rendition (26 Jun 2007)

Andrew Tyrie: ...a little while ago, which suggested that whenever the subject is discussed the Minister concerned should do his best to move the discussion on to wider issues of UK participation in the war against terror. I do not have the leaked memo to hand, but if he wants to challenge me on it, I shall give him a quotation from it. The UK's policy has quietly hardened, as illustrated by the tone of...

Foreign Affairs and Defence (24 Nov 2004)

Mr Andrew Tyrie: ...for Islington, North that it is making the world a less safe place. It is making Britain less secure, and it is costing the lives of our soldiers and of thousands of others. Far from suppressing terrorism, it is creating the conditions that encourage it. It has also disturbed the regional balance of power in the middle east, and that will be to our cost. It is a curious irony that the west...

Mr Andrew Tyrie: ...strike on South Korea. However, this is not just about language; it is about action, too. Putin has used the same logic to justify military action in Georgia. He is doing so not only to suppress terrorism, but to justify what he says is pre-emptive military action to secure his frontiers.

Mr Andrew Tyrie: ...are our allies, are also complicit. Nor am I convinced that the policy of containment and deterrence has yet failed.

Mr Andrew Tyrie: .... They are inherently revolutionary in scope, even if inspired by benign motives. In justification of the new doctrines, the US Administration say, and the Prime Minister says, that the threats of terrorism and nuclear proliferation are new, and that a new order is required to counter them. I believe that both assertions are wrong, although I have little time in which to explain why. What...
