Lord Ashdown of Norton-sub-Hamdon
My Lords, perhaps I can invite the Minister to clarify that point which might be open to misunderstanding. Although it is true that the UN Security Council resolution forbids or does not cover any invasion or occupation, there is nothing in that resolution which would inhibit us using military assets to do something like rescue a downed pilot.
Lord Strathclyde
Yes, my Lords, I regard that as a very different point and I am able to clarify that to my noble friend.
