Proceeding contribution from Gordon Brown (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 15 June 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Iraq.
Iraq
I disagree with the hon. Gentleman, but surely the point of an inquiry is to look at all those issues, and that is exactly what will happen. It will look also at whether there were failures in the reconstruction, as well as before that, and it will report on these issues. What happened after the fall of Baghdad will be as much a subject of the report as what happened before. So I hope he will agree that all these issues—that seven-year period—will be looked at by the inquiry, and looked at very fully indeed.
