HC Deb 07 July 1981 vol 8 c92W
Mr. Proctor

asked the Lord Privy Seal if he will make a statement on the present position with regard to Anglo-Iraqi relations following the Israeli raid on the nuclear plant near Baghdad.

Mr. Hurd

Relations between Iraq and the United Kingdom remain close and harmonious. We were glad to welcome on a successful visit to London last month the Iraqi Trade Minister, Mr. Hassan Ali.
