MISSING COMBATANTS IN IRAQ

Early day motion 1052, tabled 27 July 2000 by Ann Clwyd (Labour). Signed by 58 members.

That this House notes with concern that nearly a decade after Iraqi troops invaded Kuwait more than 600 Kuwaiti and third country nationals are still unaccounted for and that under United Nations Security Council Resolution 687 Iraq has a clear obligation to co-operate with the International Committee of the Red Cross in determining their whereabouts; and calls on the United Nations urgently to campaign to clarify this issue which is causing continued suffering to the families of the missing.

Signatures by party: Labour 47, Labour/Co-operative 4, Liberal Democrat 4, Conservative 1, Plaid Cymru 1, Scottish National Party 1.
