DRONE ATTACKS IN PAKISTAN

Early day motion 436, tabled 3 September 2012 by George Galloway (Respect). Signed by 21 members.

That this House condemns the huge increase in illegal drone attacks by the US in North Pakistan authorised by President Obama; notes that these are estimated by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism to have killed more than 3,000 people since 2004, at least 1,000 of them civilians, the overwhelming majority of those authorised by President Obama as Commander in Chief; and calls on the British Government to exert what pressure it can to convince the USadministration that these attacks are both illegal and counter-productive.

Signatures by party: Labour 12, Liberal Democrat 4, Plaid Cymru 3, Green 1, Respect 1.
