ISRAELI BOMBING OF IRAQI NUCLEAR FACILITIES

HL Deb 31 March 1993 vol 544 cc52-3WA

Lord Kennet

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether the Israeli bombing of nuclear facilities in Iraq was concordant with international law, and if so how they would view the bombing of nuclear facilities in North Korea, as envisaged last autumn by the Bush administration.

Baroness Chalker of Wallasey

The then Prime Minister condemned the Israeli bombing of Iraqi nuclear facilities as a grave breach of international law. We know of no plans to bomb North Korea.
