Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Jeremy Corbyn (Labour), on Thursday, 3 July 2008, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 29 members in total.


US MILITARY BASES IN IRAQ

That this House notes that, according to an article in The Independent on 5th June, the US administration is attempting to negotiate an agreement with the Iraqi government to maintain 50 permanent US military bases in Iraq; further notes that this would create a permanent occupation of Iraq, a state of affairs which has no legal or moral basis; and calls upon the Government to resume and complete the withdrawal of British troops from Iraq to demonstrate opposition to the US administration's unacceptable policy.
