Proceeding contribution from Mike Gapes (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 12 December 2006. It occurred during Urgent question on Iraq.
Iraq
I also welcome today’s opportunity to discuss this report, and add my voice to the call for a full debate in this House in the near future. My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State was right to say that the situation in Iraq is difficult, but does he agree that it would be ridiculous of the British Government to change their policy just because a US study group has made certain recommendations? The US Government have not even given their response to those recommendations yet. In any case, surely it is this Government and this Parliament who should determine the policy of the British people in respect of Iraq? It should not be determined by people in any other country, however eminent they are.
