Proceeding contribution from Nick Harvey (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 30 October 2008. It occurred during Debate on Defence Policy.
Defence Policy
That is not what I said. The hon. Gentleman is trying to have it both ways. I do not recall that a purpose of invading Iraq was to restore the water supplies. As he well knows, our objection was that it was completely illegal and we were sold a duff prospectus on the purposes of the engagement. However, I honestly do not think that at this stage there is a great deal of purpose to be served by trawling over all that.
