Proceeding contribution from Jack Straw (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 15 May 2007. It occurred during Opposition day on Armed Conflict (Parliamentary Approval).


Armed Conflict (Parliamentary Approval)

I apologise. I remember that for a short while there was a Conservative MP who used to be called ““the mouth from Louth””. Lord Louth has noted that"““on issues of going to war, it should be the House of Commons that votes””."
