§ Mr. CohenTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will list the current proposals presented to the United Nations relating to Iraq from (i) the UK, (ii) France and (iii) other nations; and what response Iraq has made to each. [88326]
§ Mr. HoonThe UK has tabled a comprehensive draft Security Council resolution on Iraq which would put the disarmament process back on track, is generous in its humanitarian provisions and would engage the Council more closely on Kuwaiti issues, including the 600 detainees. It would also give Iraq a clear path to the suspension and eventual lifting of sanctions. Our draft resolution is co-sponsored by the Netherlands, Argentina, Brazil, and Slovenia. Russia and France have also circulated draft resolutions. Iraq has thus far shown no inclination to accept any of the draft resolution being discussed.
