HC Deb 26 July 1982 vol 28 cc373-4W
Mr. Latham

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what was the purpose of the visit of the Under-Secretary of State to Iraq between 15 and 17 January.

Mr. Mellor

I was in Iraq between 14 and 16 February this year at the head of the joint Government and company team from the United Kingdom to the Anglo-Iraqi oil and gas seminar. During my visit, I had discussions with the Iraqi Minister for Oil, gave the closing address to the seminar and visited the new OAPEC training centre and the Dawra oil refinery.
