§ Llew SmithTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how many member states spoke(a) in favour and (b) against the United Kingdom-United States-Australian invasion of Iraq in the United Nations security council general debate on 26 March to 27 March; and what assessment has been made of the speeches opposing United Kingdom military action against Iraq. [107582]
§ Mr. RammellThe verbatim record of the interventions made at the Security Council Open Debate on 26–27 March is available on the UN website (www.un.org). Many of the interventions express views which are difficult to characterise either as in favour of, or opposed to, the military action being taken to enforce Security Council resolutions.
The coalition action has active support from over 40 countries.
