Proceeding contribution from Nick Clegg (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 18 December 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Iraq.
Iraq
Of course hon. Members do not want to be reminded of the past. They refuse to learn the lessons for the future. Does the Prime Minister agree that we do not need an inquiry to know who bears the heavy responsibility for invading Iraq five and a half years ago? It is on the record in the votes of the House, because for all the shouting and heckling that we hear today from those on both the Conservative and Labour Benches, they know that they were the ones who let this happen. They know that their votes signed us up to George Bush's war. They had the choice; they let Britain down.
