HC Deb 08 May 1996 vol 277 cc145-6W
26. Mr. Robathan

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on UN sanctions on Iraq. [27219]

Mr. Hanley

The purpose of sanctions is to ensure that Iraq complies with its obligations under relevant UN Security Council resolutions. Iraq remains a long way from compliance. UN Security Council resolution 986 is intended to alleviate the suffering of the Iraq people. We hope that the current discussions will succeed and that Iraq will implement the resolution.
