That this House notes the United States Administration's request to send British troops into areas currently patrolled by American-led forces; is aware of the statement by the Secretary of State for Defence that he is inclined to comply; believes that such a move would significantly increase the danger to British troops in Iraq; and therefore calls for a vote in the House before Her Majesty's Government takes a final decision on this matter.

That this House believes that the mandate given to the Coalition Provisional Authority under United Nations Resolution 1511 will expire on 30th June when the responsibility for governing Iraq is transferred to the Iraqi people; is concerned with recent events in Falluja where reports suggest that more than 700 Iraqis have been killed over the last month including many women and children; notes that Britain, unlike the United States, is subject to the strictures of the International Criminal Court and could face prosecution if drawn into actions similar to those carried out by United States troops in Falluja and Najaf; further notes that troops from Spain, Honduras and the Dominican Republic have withdrawn from Iraq and that Australian troops could also leave if the opposition party wins the next general election; calls on the Government to give honourable members of this House the opportunity to debate and to vote before any more British troops are committed to serve in Iraq or are drawn to serve in areas not currently under British Armed Forces command; demands that a further United Nations resolution is established before handover authorising a multinational command structure answerable to the United Nations Security Council rather than an occupying force; and further demands that the British Government ensures the White House does not renege on previous commitment to transfer full sovereignty to the Iraqi people on 30th June.

That this House notes with concern reports of Pentagon sources briefing that the United States is planning a massive air-led military campaign against Iraq of up to 1,000 bombing strikes a day, followed by a ground invasion involving at least one United Kingdom army brigade, and that plants producing so-called smart bombs are currently working overtime in preparation for a military campaign in the autumn or next spring as reported in the Herald on 29th April; further notes the remarks of the Prime Minister in the House on 10th April in relation to Iraq that 'no decisions on action have been taken'; believes that these positions are mutually inconsistent; calls on the Prime Minister to make a full statement to the House outlining preparations for an attack on Iraq; and reiterates that any offensive military action against Iraq can only be morally justified if it carries a new and specific mandate from the United Nations Security Council.
