Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Campbell of Alloway (Conservative). It was answered on Tuesday, 25 March 2008.


Iraq: Inquiry

Question
My Lords, on the simple question of ““when””, as it is apparent that these operations are going to continue for a considerable time, what can ““when”” mean?
Answer

My Lords, I am no soothsayer but just today in Basra hostilities have resumed around an effort to disarm the militia. So there is still—today, at least—a sufficiently active level of military action in both Basra and the country at large to make it seem premature for such an inquiry.
