Proceeding contribution from Gordon Brown (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 18 December 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Iraq.
Iraq
It is not a matter for the British Government: it is for the Iraqi Government to examine what has happened in their country. Only they will be in the position to obtain the full information. I cannot see how from here or from just Basra the British Government could conduct such a survey. However, I acknowledge the loss of life and the suffering of the Iraqi people, and British forces are trying to improve the Iraqi people's conditions of life and standard of living.
