Proceeding contribution from Paul Flynn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 16 June 2014. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Iraq and Ending Sexual Violence in Conflict.
Iraq and Ending Sexual Violence in Conflict
Did not the vote of 29 August last year prove that the trust of many Members of this House in military action has been deeply undermined by the terrible decision that we took in 2003 to send 179 brave British soldiers to their deaths in Iraq on the basis of untruths and the hubris and vanity of a Prime Minister? Will not that trust be further undermined if the Chilcot report is expurgated—if it omits the full text of the letters from Tony Blair and George Bush—and will it not be seen as an establishment cover-up by politicians and civil servants to guard their reputations?
