§ Mr. Corbynasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how many representatives of the Iraqi Government have accredited diplomatic status in the United Kingdom; and if any of these are active on security duties.
§ Mr. Luce28. None of these, so far as we know, are engaged on duties related to the security of embassy premises.
§ Mr. Corbynasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what meetings his Department has had with the ambassador from Iraq concerning the activities of security forces from that embassy; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. LuceThere have been no such meetings. The activities of all diplomatic missions in London are kept under review. We do not hesitate to make representations when we have clear evidence of unacceptable activities by their members. Should we receive such evidence concerning the embassy of Iraq, we would take appropriate action with the Iraqi ambassador.
