Proceeding contribution from Gordon Prentice (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 24 June 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Iraq Inquiry.
Iraq Inquiry
I could not agree more about that. Indeed, my friend the Member for Cannock Chase said in a letter to the Prime Minister:""There needs to be a process of engagement on the inquiry's purpose, terms of reference, membership and procedures…it would be appropriate for the Government to seek formal parliamentary endorsement of the inquiry's terms of reference and membership"." We need that, because that would cover the point about senior parliamentarians having an input. It would also deal with the point that I and others have made about the committee having a place for a military person. That person should not be below the salt as an assessor, but a full member of the inquiry team. One final thing—or have I had a final thing already?
