Written statement made by Lord Goldsmith (Labour) on Monday, 5 June 2006 in the House of Lords, on behalf of the Attorney General.


Iraq: Legality of Armed Force

The Information Commissioner has today published an enforcement notice under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 in relation to requests for information relating to the advice given on the legality of military intervention in Iraq in 2003. The Cabinet Office and the Legal Secretariat to the Law Officers have issued a disclosure statement which the Information Commissioner is satisfied meets the requirements of his enforcement notice. The disclosure statement draws very heavily on material already in the public domain. Copies of the enforcement notice and disclosure statement are annexed to this Statement and have been placed in the Library of both Houses.
