That this House unreservedly condemns the murder of Ali Hassan Abd, a leading member of the Iraqi Federation of Trade Union's (IFTU) Oil and Gas Union, who led the way in rebuilding independent unions after the fall of Saddam Hussein and who was assassinated on Friday 18th February by terrorist extremists while returning with his children to his home close to the Al Dorah oil refinery in Baghdad; supports the statement issued by the IFTU Executive Committee, which `condemns this cowardly act and resolves to continue to organise for free, democratic and independent unions' and `pledges to its martyred hero Abu Fahad to carry on organising workers and also for a new and democratic Iraq'; and strongly supports the IFTU's call for the international labour movement to condemn this atrocity against a brave trade unionist, which once again confirms that the so-called resistance is deliberately targeting leaders of the Iraqi labour movement in order to prevent the growth of a new civil society in Iraq, after the brave defiance shown by millions of Iraqis in the last elections.

That this House calls upon the Prime Minister, in concert with the US Administration and the Iraqi Interim Government, immediately to institute a dedicated body to gather, collate and publish the number of Iraqi civilians killed and injured as a result of coalition forces' actions since 20th March 2003; and believes that such a body should incorporate procedures employed by Iraq bodycount and those US and Iraqi health experts whose findings detailing 100,000 civilian deaths was published by the Lancet on 30th October 2004.

That this House notes the report of Robert Fisk of The Independent on Sunday on 4th January, based on military and medical records, describing the assault by British soldiers on eight young Iraqis arrested in Basra, one so badly that he subsequently died in British custody; notes that the body of the dead man, Baha Mousa, was returned to his family covered in bruises and with his nose broken and that apparently British military authorities offered 8,000 dollars to the family provided the military were not held responsible for the death; condemns these intolerable acts by British soldiers; demands that those imprisoned are kept safe and free from torture; and calls for an immediate, impartial and independent investigation to be set up with the full co-operation of the military required.

That this House notes the report Continuing Collateral Damage: The Health and Environment Costs of War on Iraq 2003 by the international health charity MEDACT, which indicates that between 21,700 and 55,000 people died between 20th March and 20th October, and that limited access to clean water and sanitation, as well as poverty, malnutrition and disruption of public services, including health services, continue to have a negative impact on the health of the Iraqi people; and does not share the apparent view of those responsible, who fail to record or report these matters, that those deaths are unimportant.

That this House notes with deep concern that there has been no official count of Iraqi civilian deaths following the conflict in Iraq, and that it is left to unofficial researchers, such as the Iraq Body Count, to estimate the figures, cited as being more than 5,000; further notes that Iraq's military dead also remain unnumbered; further notes that incidents such as the one in the Mansur district of Baghdad on 27th July where US forces killed at least five innocent people during a failed search for Saddam, should focus attention on the loss of civilian life in Iraq at the hands of US forces since the conflict ended; calls on the United Kingdom Government explicitly to agree with the principle that the Mansur victims and all other Iraqi victims deserve a proper inquest to put pressure on the US Administration to launch enquiries into all of the previous incidents in which civilians have been shot in Iraq since the conflict ended, including the one at Mansur, and to ensure that it is far more concerned in future with losses it inflicts on the Iraqi people and less obsessed with keeping a tally on the triumphant total of cards turned up so far in the deck of most-wanted Saddam supporters.

That this House notes that the Secretary of State for Defence, when asked what reports he had received of civilian casualties in Iraq as a consequence of the dropping of cluster bombs, replied 'we are aware of no proven reports of civilian casualties caused by United Kingdom cluster bombs' (3rd June, Official Report, column 393W); further notes that www.iraqbodycount.org lists 23 specific reports involving deaths as a consequence of cluster bombs which it says accounts for between 828 and 1,172 reported deaths; also notes that some of these happened in Basra and the south of Iraq where the forces had responsibility; and invites the Secretary of State to reconsider his Answer.

That this House congratulates John Pilger on his distressing but riveting TV programme exposing the real effects of UN sanctions on Iraq, which have led to the deaths of thousands of Iraqi children, and intense suffering for others who cannot get adequate treatment, nourishment or pain relief, but which effects appear to be avoided by Saddam Hussain and his friends; further notes that former UN official Dennis Halliday explained on the programme that he had been able to save the lives of two children by illegally taking them medicines but that he could not do that for thousands; further notes that the woman doctor who explained the children's problems was exceedingly upset by what she saw day by day, knew that most of the children in her ward would die and said it was like seeing her own children dying; also congratulates the honourable Member for Glasgow, Kelvin on organising the humanitarian flight to Iraq originally scheduled for Saturday 11th March and regrets the obstructions put in his way by the Foreign Office; points out that many British people will disapprove of this flight being described as a publicity stunt and will consider that the Iraqi situation should be publicised and made as widely known as possible; and calls on the Government to make real its oft-stated claim that it is not at war with the Iraqi people by withdrawing the wholehearted support it as present gives to the United States of America in relation to these sanctions.

That this House, recalling the mysterious death in an hotel room in Santiago, Chile, in March 1990, subsequently held to be murder, of the British defence journalist Jonathan Moyle, conscious of the belief of Mr Moyle's family that their son was murdered because of his investigations into the supply to Iraq of the Helios weapons guidance system and the Stonefish mine by Chilean arms dealers Cardoen Industries, and noting the links between Cardoen and Matrix Churchill and the Iraqi regime, calls upon Mr Justice Scott to include in his inquiry an investigation into the circumstances of the murder of this young British journalist.
