§ Mr. WaldegraveAs my right hon. Friend the Minister of State said on 28 April, at column686 the Government have repeatedly made clear to the Iraqi authorites our concern at Iraqi human rights violations and will continue to do so. The Iraqis know that we expect them to abide by their obligations under international agreements, which, in particular, prohibit the use of the death penalty against minors.
