Proceeding contribution from Lord Browne of Ladyton (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 12 December 2006. It occurred during Urgent question on Iraq.
Iraq
My right hon. Friend the Prime Minister will, of course, be here tomorrow to answer questions at the Dispatch Box. It will be interesting to see just how many questions relate to this pressing issue. The complexity of the Iraq Study Group report will no doubt emerge in the questions that I will be asked. The report makes more than 79 recommendations. Many of the recommendations relating to the area in which we have particular security responsibility are entirely in line with the strategic approach that we have adopted for some years. The report recommends to the US Administration that there ought to be a change of policy, and the hon. Member for Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk (Mr. Moore) suggests that that means that it is recommending the same thing to the British Government. I have gone to some lengths, both here in the House and outside it, to set out our strategy and policy in Iraq. The hon. Gentleman thinks that policy changes need to be made because of the ISG report: I should be grateful if, in the questions that he puts to me as I stand at the Dispatch Box, he would outline what he thinks that they should be. The hon. Member for Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk asked about a debate on this matter. I understand that my right hon. Friend the Leader of the House will make an announcement about that on Thursday.
