BUTLER INQUIRY

That this House notes that the Butler Inquiry into the Intelligence Services' pre-war claims about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction no longer has bi-party support, and that confidence in it must therefore inevitably be seriously eroded; and believes that as a consequence it should be abandoned in its present form and replaced by an inquiry, with the confidence of all the three main parties represented in the House with a wider remit and a more broadly-based membership, including at least one person who was not in favour of the war and sceptical of the reasons for it.
