Proceeding contribution from Alex Salmond (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 31 October 2006. It occurred during Opposition day on Iraq.

What happens if there is another conflict that the House is misled into supporting, and if we are bounced into another Iraq? The back-stop of full, parliamentary accountability will make any Government, and any Prime Minister, think again before taking the course that the Prime Minister took.
