Serious issues arise in the context of the aftermath of the war, such as humanitarian requirements. I compliment the Minister of State on his interest in this area. It is imperative the United Nations plays a pivotal role here. It is reprehensible to see arguments behind the scenes between Britain and the US about who will be awarded contracts to rebuild Iraq while the country is still being demolished on a nightly basis. If the reconstruction is to have any credibility then international bodies must play a role.
