Proceeding contribution from Lembit Opik (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 31 October 2006. It occurred during Opposition day on Iraq.


Iraq

Some have accused the hon. Gentleman of opportunism in choosing to debate this subject on an Opposition day, but does he agree that the people of Wales are keen to get to the truth of the matter and that what we really need today is a sober and considered debate rather than point-scoring—primarily by a very defensive Government? Does he hope that rather than putting party political interests first we can make the interests of democracy and our mistakes in Iraq the primary consideration in our debate?
