Middle East (10 Apr 2002)

Mr Nicholas Winterton: I welcome most warmly the Prime Minister's statement. Would he not accept, however, that while terrorism—from wherever it comes—must be not only defeated but eradicated, the perception at the moment is that Prime Minister Sharon has declared war on the Palestinian people as a whole, not just on the terrorist organisations Islamic Jihad and Hamas? Is there no opportunity to get an...

Afghanistan (20 Mar 2002)

Mr Nicholas Winterton: ...people are seeking revenge. What happened on that date was that, for the first time in history, American soil was invaded, so their attention was highly focused on the dangers of international terrorism.

Mr Nicholas Winterton: The Prime Minister is aware of my total support for the Unionist cause in Northern Ireland and for the role of our armed services in the campaign against terrorism worldwide.

I was the last...

Mr Nicholas Winterton: Will the Secretary of State admit that some of our European counterparts have been far less enthusiastic than us about our campaign against international terrorism?

Business of the House (25 Oct 2001)

Orders of the Day — Disqualifications Bill: Amendment of Section 1(1)(E) of the Disqualification Acts (25 Jan 2000)

Mr Nicholas Winterton: ...ago and am happy to advise the Committee that the first time I voted against my party was on the prorogation of Stormont in 1972.
