Proceeding contribution from Diane Abbott (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)
In fact, I was in the House for the debate on 18 March. Whatever the words on the Order Paper, there was no doubt in the mind of anyone in the House—not least the unfortunate people dragged into the Prime Minister’s office in the hours before the debate to have their arms twisted behind their backs—that it was a vote on going to war.
