HC Deb 27 March 1995 vol 257 cc450-1W
Mr. Corbyn

To ask the Prime Minister when he was informed of the Turkish military activities in Iraq; and what actions he took. [16683]

The Prime Minister

We were informed of the Turkish military activities in northern Iraq on 20 March, after they began. We made clear to the Turks that we expected them to withdraw their troops at the earliest opportunity. We have also registered strongly our concern that non-combatants in the region should not be affected.
