Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Corbyn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 8 May 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Iraq (Basra Incident).

Iraq (Basra Incident)

I echo the condolences offered by the Secretary of State to those who lost loved ones over the weekend. Is he aware that 109 British personnel, more than 2,000 Americans and tens of thousands of Iraqis have died since war was declared more than three years ago? Can he set out a timetable by which he expects British and American troops to withdraw from Iraq, as their continued presence seems increasingly to be part of the problem rather than the solution?
