Lords ChamberWill the Minster consider the United Nations duty to protect, and remind herself that at times non-intervention can cost far more lives than intervention?
My Lords, we have to do what the UK Government are doing, which is working very closely with our partners, making sure that we are there on the ground when we are needed and providing support where we cannot be present. Generally, I think that we are doing exactly what has been asked of us and we should be proud of the commitment that the UK Government have made.
