Proceeding contribution from Elfyn Llwyd (Plaid Cymru) in the House of Commons on Friday, 21 October 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Armed Forces (Parliamentary Approval for Participation in Armed Conflict) Bill.
Armed Forces (Parliamentary Approval for Participation in Armed Conflict) Bill
The right hon. Lady says that we owe this measure to the armed forces. I was in Iraq in early March this year, and I was surprised by the number of senior officers who volunteered to tell me that they questioned the legal authority for participation in the war. The Bill would go some distance towards repaying what we owe them.
