  • Charges for Oxygen (Airlines) 30 Jun 2009

    My wife uses oxygen, so I have been listening carefully to my hon. Friend the Minister. Earlier, he talked about stress. I have found that stress is not restricted to the airlines. We took cylinders with us when we travelled on Eurostar. I was kept behind in Paris for an hour because the officials thought that I was going to blow up the bloody plane. People feel stressed with hotels and...
  • Charges for Oxygen (Airlines) 30 Jun 2009

    Can the matter be associated with landing rights? The Minister has set standards for UK companies, and we can put pressure on them. Landing rights are UK rights.
  • People's Mujahedeen Organisation of Iran 4 Mar 2008

  • People's Mujahedeen Organisation of Iran 4 Mar 2008

    The hon. Gentleman mentioned the president of the Iranian Resistance. Will he confirm that she is not in favour of appeasement, but also that she is not in favour of war? What she is in favour of is the PMOI being taken off that list.

  • Committee of Ministers and Council of Europe 9 May 2007

    I have always found that the absence of the death penalty in all the nations of the Council of Europe is one vital principle. I am sure that my hon. Friend agrees.
  • Committee of Ministers and Council of Europe 9 May 2007

    In that particular case, what does my hon. Friend think is the solution to Malta's representation in respect of the judges?
