Proceeding contribution from Lord Davies of Stamford (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 11 June 2007. It occurred during Opposition day on Iraq Inquiry.


Iraq Inquiry

The historical precedents that my right hon. Friend has just cited reinforce my position, rather than his. There was indeed an inquiry in 1915 into the Dardanelles, but only after the last British troops and sailors had left Suva bay. In 1940, we did indeed have a memorable debate in the House on Norway, but only after the last British troops and sailors had left Narvik. I am suggesting that we should hold an inquiry into Iraq only after our last troops have left the country.
