Proceeding contribution from Andrew Mitchell (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 14 July 2016. It occurred during Debate on Report of the Iraq Inquiry.
Report of the Iraq Inquiry
I think that the Secretary of State has laid to rest the canard that the NSC operates without expertise, but I should like to reinforce that point. It is evident from the 2010 example of the strategic defence and security review that we on the NSC conducted, and from subsequent events, that expertise from the greatest experts in the country is frequently heard and always available to the NSC. Such expertise also populates the significant briefing papers that go before the NSC and informs the judgments that it makes.
