Iraq Inquiry

I honestly think that the hon. Gentleman must have been talking too much to his colleagues during the course of the debate so far, or at least not have been listening. I think that we have clearly answered the questions that have been put. I am reliably informed that one does not need a statutory power to administer an oath, and I am happy to give further guidance on that later. The truth is that for two years the Government and Opposition have been agreed on the need for a Privy Council inquiry into Iraq.
