Proceeding contribution from Iain Duncan Smith (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 24 June 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Iraq Inquiry.


Iraq Inquiry

I want to follow up on one point about which the hon. Gentleman has not spoken. I and others noted earlier that the political representative on the committee is from the other place. Does he think that an elected Member of Parliament or two should be on the committee, so that the opinion of the Chamber can be represented? After all, we voted on the matter. Why should someone from the other place be our representative?
