Ukraine, Middle East, North Africa and Security

Proceeding contribution from John Baron (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 10 September 2014. It occurred during Debate on Ukraine, Middle East, North Africa and Security.

I agree. Technically, the motion was about that, but there was also a push last year by the Government to arm rebels fighting Assad. However, because it would have been impossible to track and trace those arms, some of them would have ended up, inadvertently, in the hands of the very extremists we are now taking on in northern Iraq—a bitter irony if ever there was one.
