Proceeding contribution from Lord Morris of Aberavon (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 16 April 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Iraq.
Iraq
My Lords, I welcome the fact that the Secretary of State has accepted that it was his mistake and has said he is sorry, for which he should be commended. I also welcome the fact that he has set up two wide-ranging inquiries on the two pertinent issues. In a fast-moving situation, what ministerial cover was there in the Ministry of Defence on that Thursday afternoon and Good Friday morning? Who made the decision that the submission should go to the Secretary of State only ““to note”” and through which Ministers or senior civil servants did that submission go?
