Business question from Jo Swinson (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 4 March 2010. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

The Leader of the House may have seen today's distressing reports on the BBC about the increased rate of birth defects in Falluja, which are now 13 times higher than what we see in Europe, and there is a concern that that is as a result of weapons used by the United States during the Iraq war. May we have a debate about this issue, so that we can hear from the Foreign Secretary what representations he is making to his US counterpart about this appalling legacy of the Iraq war?
