I congratulate my hon. Friend on his record of asking parliamentary questions and on his last question in the House.

I have checked the position of Tariq Aziz and other war criminals awaiting trial in Iraq. Tariq Aziz has a named counsel of record registered with the Iraq special tribunal, and I understand that he has seen him twice already. Mr. Ludot and Mr. Faupin, the other lawyers in question, are not registered as co-counsel with the Iraq special tribunal. Furthermore, my understanding is that although they claim Mr. Aziz as their client, they have not requested the tribunal's permission to visit him. Both Tariq Aziz and Saddam Hussein have seen their lawyers.
