Business of the House
World war two lasted more than five and a half years. This month marks five years since the Iraq war started. The Nobel prize-winner Joe Stiglitz reckons that it has cost $6 trillion. The Library says that it has cost the UK about £2.5 million a day. May we have a debate with a view to setting up a Committee of inquiry into this war, which may have cost half a million lives?
