HUMANITARIAN AID AND MILITARY THREATS TO IRAQ

That this House contrasts the contingency reserve of ??100 million which the Secretary of State for International Development has said is available for humanitarian emergencies and 'safe havens' in Iraq (24th February, Official Report, column 4), and which has to come out of existing budgets, with the ??1,750 million of extra taxpayers' money made available by the Chancellor to fight a war against Iraq; and concludes this Government's priorities are obscene.
