§ Miss Emma NicholsonTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what assessment he has made of the safety of the Kurds in northern Iraq and the Shias in southern Iraq and the Marshlands in the last three months.
§ Mr. Douglas HoggWe remain concerned about the plight of the civilian population in the whole of Iraq and in particular about recent reports of increased military attacks on civilians in the southern marshes. On 4 June the Governments of France, the United States and the United Kingdom told the Iraqi Government that they should cease repressive actions against all the peoples of Iraq in violation of United Nations Security Council resolution 688.
We are determined to keep up the pressure on Iraq to meet all its obligations under Security Council resolutions.
