Proceeding contribution from John Baron (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 11 June 2007. It occurred during Opposition day on Iraq Inquiry.
Iraq Inquiry
We hope that the inquiry will be wide-ranging, and that it will include an examination of how the intelligence was assessed and presented. In the meantime, however, I have a question. The main justification for war was the weapons of mass destruction argument, and that ultimately proved to be wrong. Who does the Foreign Secretary think is to blame for that? Does the blame lie with the intelligence services for their assessment of the intelligence that came in, or with the politicians for their presentation of the evidence?
