HC Deb 03 April 2001 vol 366 c133W
Mr. Bill O'Brien

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs when he will publish his review of the sanctions imposed on Iraq; and if he will make a statement. [156775]

Mr. Wilson

We continue to discuss Iraq policy with the US, other key partners and countries in the region. We wish to ensure the most effective policy to prevent Iraq from re-equipping its armed forces and re-building its WMD while minimising the effects of UN controls on the Iraqi people. Any adjustments to our policy would of course be announced.
