DEMOCRACY AND RIGHT TO PROTEST

That this House notes that the decision to take this country to war with Iraq caused the gravest crisis of legitimacy of the UK's political system; further notes that the public is demanding that hon. Members and Government be transparent in their dealings and held to close scrutiny and account; therefore believes that it is in the interests of democratic accountability that those who organised the largest demonstration in British history on 15 February 2003 against war on Iraq be allowed to go ahead with a planned peaceful protest next to the Queen Elizabeth II centre at the location originally agreed by the police when the former Prime Minister the right hon. Tony Blair gives evidence to the Iraq Inquiry.
