HC Deb 18 March 1998 vol 308 cc664-6W
Mr. Dalyell

To ask the Prime Minister what discussions Her Majesty's Government have had with the Chinese over their interpretation of recent UN Resolutions, in relation to authorising the commencement of military action, undertaken in the name of the United Nations against targets in Iraq. [34318]

The Prime Minister

During the recent Iraq crisis we maintained close contact with all members of the Security Council, including the Chinese.

Security Council Resolution 1154 was adopted unanimously by the Security Council. All members, including China, agreed that further violations of Iraq's obligations under relevant Security Council Resolutions and the Memorandum of Understanding signed in Baghdad would be followed by the severest consequences.
