Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon (Con)
My noble friend articulates the position very well and I agree with him.
Lord Cormack (Con)
My Lords, while I accept what my noble friend has just said, there is a debt and there is a hostage. Following on from the point made by the noble and learned Baroness, Lady Butler-Sloss, can we not lodge this money with the United Nations, so that we acknowledge there is a debt and when she has been released, as she should be immediately on humanitarian grounds, we can go forward?
Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon (Con)
My Lords, again I hear what my noble friend has said but I cannot say any more than I have already on the case and legal proceedings.
