Oral Answers to Questions — Leader of the House: Counter-terrorism (2 Jul 2007)

Robert Wareing: May I first congratulate my right hon. Friend on her appointment? I lived through the terror of the Blitz during the second world war and I remember the stalwart courage of the British people in defying the Nazis. They went about their lives as normally as possible. The current generation of Britons will defy the present terrorists, just as their forebears defied the Luftwaffe's terrorism....

Orders of the Day — Terrorism Bill (26 Oct 2005)

Robert Wareing: No Member of this House would in any way deplore measures to prevent terrorism occurring in our country. One of the reasons many of us voted against the war in Iraq was that we realised that it would make our country even more vulnerable to terrorist attacks. In my view, the Bill is an excellent example of legislation that has been introduced in a knee-jerk reaction. The Government have to...

Orders of the Day — Terrorism Bill (26 Oct 2005)

Robert Wareing: I take it from what my right hon. Friend says that any person in any country of the world who advocates terrorism would be subject to arrest under this Act should they arrive in this country? Would that be true if Pat Robertson, the American who advocated the assassination of democratically elected President Chavez of Venezuela, were to enter Britain?

Bali (15 Oct 2002)

Mr Robert Wareing: ...should help to concentrate our minds. Two things are essential: we must maintain the coalition that involves the US, the UK, Russia and the Muslim countries in an alliance against international terrorism, and we must not give any comfort to al-Qaeda and the international terrorists. If we were to take military action in the light of recent events involving Iraq, does my right hon. Friend...

Oral Answers to Questions — Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs: Russia/North Atlantic Council (8 Jan 2002)

Mr Robert Wareing: ...differ from the Russia/NATO permanent consultative council in powers, functions and composition? Is it not essential that Russia be involved in determining policies to tackle drug trafficking and terrorism, and problems that may arise in parts of Europe such as the Balkans? Would it not be disastrous for the spirit of co-operation that has been created between our two countries if NATO...

Coalition against International Terrorism (8 Oct 2001)

Mr Robert Wareing: Does my right hon. Friend agree that the role of Russia and the former Soviet republics in central Asia has been and will be crucial in the fight against international terrorism? Does he agree that it has perhaps not been sufficiently appreciated in the west that there have been more Russian lives lost as a result of extremist terrorism than there were British lives lost in New York a few...

International Terrorism (4 Oct 2001)

Mr Robert Wareing: ...publicly in the House my heartfelt sympathy with the American people, among whom I have personal friends, for the barbaric attack that took place on 11 September. It was probably the worst act of terrorism in world history and it deserves a very firm response from us all. I am pleased that the Prime Minister and President Bush have embarked on attempts to develop diplomatic contacts with...

Oral Answers to Questions — Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs: Cambodia (13 Mar 1991)

Mr Robert Wareing: ...country? Does not that give a wrong message to the Khmer Rouge that the Government are still soft on Pol Pot? Should not we make a clear declaration to the world that we are not on the side of terrorism, whether in Iraq or Cambodia?

Housing (Houses in Multiple Occupation) Bill (13 Feb 1987)

Mr Robert Wareing: ...put the onus on you or any other occupant of the Chair, is there not an element of discretion in matters such as this? Is it not rather odd that a debate on an order relating to the prevention of terrorism should be followed by a vote after an hour and a half on a matter that affects a small number of people, but that my hon. Friend's Bill, which affects a large number of people, including...

Orders of the Day — Foreign Affairs (14 Nov 1986)

Mr Robert Wareing: ...—receive our sustenance. By refusing to criticise the Americans, we give succour and assistance to notorious dictators in Guatemala and Honduras. The Government blithely talk of combating terrorism, yet they are prepared to help to train Iranian military personnel in this country. At a time when the American President has admitted to arming Iran over the past 18 months, I should...

Oral Answers to Questions — Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs: Nicaragua (29 Oct 1986)

Mr Robert Wareing: Is the Minister not taking prevarication to a fine art with the answers that he has given to Labour Members? If the Government are opposed to terrorism, torture, rape and mass murder of innocent peasants, no matter where they are, can he not give a positive answer to the questions that he has been asked? Should not the Government be registering the protest of what is probably the majority of...

Business of the House (24 Apr 1986)

Mr Robert Wareing: In view of the Government's continued support for American state terrorism, not only in the central Mediterranean but in Nicaragua and Angola, is it not time that we had a general debate on foreign affairs so that we can specifically examine the so-called special relationship between the Prime Minister and President Reagan?

Business of the House (27 Mar 1986)

Mr Robert Wareing: Is the Leader of the House aware that most people in this country view with abhorrence President Reagan's support of terrorism in Nicaragua and Angola and American aggression in the Mediterranean? Will he therefore give a more positive response to the request of my right hon. Friend the Leader of the Opposition that, as a matter of urgency, there should be a foreign policy debate in the House?
