Proceeding contribution from Robert Marshall-Andrews (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 24 June 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Iraq Inquiry.
Iraq Inquiry
The passage to which I think the right hon. Gentleman is referring is exactly the mandarin passage that I had in mind, when Lord Butler said that, taking everything together, the committee was "surprised" that none of the intelligence being placed before the Government was reflected in the statements being made. The word "surprised" in mandarin does not mean: "Good Lord! Is that the time?" It means: "It is absolutely inconceivable that anything like this could happen."
