Proceeding contribution from Eric Joyce (Labour) 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

I am slightly puzzled by more than one dimension of the hon. Gentleman’s argument, but one in particular. There was a vote—in fact, there were three, as the hon. Member for North Wiltshire (Mr. Gray) said—before taking military action in Iraq. Why does that vote not affect his view of the legitimacy of that conflict? [Interruption.]
