“No military action in Iraq without UN approval”
- Barrett
John Barrett, Scottish Liberal Democrat
MP for Edinburgh West, today warned the Government not to
take military action in Iraq without clear UN approval.
Mr Barrett made the call during a question
to the Defence Secretary in the House of Commons today.
In a statement, John Barrett said:
"The case for military action has yet
to be made. Public opinion polls, along with my post bag and
feedback from constituents has confirmed to me the public
hostility to any moves which are not authorised by the United
Nations.
"If the Government proceed with force
without UN approval, they will not only be turning its back
on international law but turning its back of the clear majority
of ordinary people who don't want such action taken in their
name."
