Proceeding contribution from Andrew Mackinlay (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)

The hon. Gentleman’s recollection of the history is not quite sound. I hope to refer later to the pressure that was put on me by the late Member of Parliament for Livingston and by No. 10 Downing street when we tried to probe the reason for deploying our troops in Sierra Leone. If I catch the Speaker’s eye, I shall clarify the history.
