		Ancram, is where does your party stand on this matter- did you really believe that there is a clear and present threat from Iraq to this country as distinct from it, for example, from a threat to Israel, which in my experience is well able to look after itself.
		Ancram Just referring to two points which were made with reference to the friendly countries that you were talking about, of course, I’m saddened to hear that Pakistan was not one of them, but I realize that you’re short of time.
		Ancram, you sound like a very moderate man and I’m glad that you’ll be opposition foreign secretary, but I would like you to know there are many people, as a European banker, and colleagues and friends of mine, that you say that we should go as Europeans and support America.

		Although there are no provisions in the Bill to take children into care, the Prime Minister and Home Secretary should be ashamed of themselves for spinning this proposal in order to appear âtoughâ on asylum.
		I am therefore pleased that my colleague Michael Howard has written to the Prime Minister about his concerns surrounding the Governmentâs asylum policy.
		It seems to me that deporting failed claimants (who in any event have no right to be in the UK) is far better than relying on threats to break up families.

	FT.com / World / UK - Tory leaders cool on Ancram's call to pull troops out of Iraq (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Writing in yesterday's Daily Mail, Mr Ancram, a former leadership candidate from the right of the party, said Iraq was "effectively in a state of civil war" and it would be "pointless and dangerous" for British forces to remain there.
		Mr Ancram is the most senior politician to call for an immediate return of British troops, although some Liberal Democrats have called for a withdrawal by the end of the year.
		Mr Ancram blamed the "idiotic" disbandment of Iraqi security and armed forces soon after the invasion in 2003, the abandonment of the US reconstruction plan and the "stateof denial" in London and Washington about the situation in Iraq for making the position of British troops "untenable".

		Observers pointed out that the Tories were unlikely to tone down their rhetoric on asylum because it was the only issue on which the party seemed to have a lead over Labour as a vast majority of Britons, albeit largely because of ignorance, were apprehensive about an open door policy on asylum.
