Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Campbell-Savours (Labour). It was answered on Monday, 12 January 2009.
Iraq: UK Armed Forces
- Question
- My Lords, will that inquiry include an investigation into those companies, some of which are British, particularly the Weir Group, which were responsible for breaching the sanctions legislation in the early part of this decade?
- Answer
-
My Lords, as no decision has been made on the exact extent or remit of any such inquiry, I cannot comment on that. I have heard some very interesting suggestions about the scope of any inquiry, including from my noble friend Lord Soley, who suggested that the inquiry ought also to include the circumstances in which international organisations failed to live up to their commitments.
