Proceeding contribution from Tony Baldry (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 25 October 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Governance of Britain.

Governance of Britain

Does the Lord Chancellor recognise that many hon. Members on both sides of the House would not have voted for the war on Iraq if they had known then what we know now? As we consider our war-making powers between now and the end of the consultation period in January, should the House not have an opportunity to debate how we can avoid collectively misdirecting ourselves again in that way, and how the House can be better informed about such decisions before we again erroneously commit people to war?
