That this House deplores and condemns the reported damage to the site of the ancient city of Babylon caused by the contruction of a US military base; and believes that it is the duty of Coalition forces in Iraq to respect and protect all historic sites within a country which is recognised as one of the greatest cradles of world civilisation.

That this House notes that in response to concerns raised by honourable Members about the validity of the case made for war, the Prime Minister referred to House to the findings of the Iraq Survey Group (ISG), for example stating on 21st January that it was the job of the Iraq Survey Group to find out what has happened, which it will do; notes that the ISG makes it clear that it found no evidence that Iraq sought uranium abroad after the first Gulf War in 1991, stating that it has uncovered no information to support allegations of Iraqi pursuit of uranium from abroad in the post-Operation Desert Storm era; further notes that the ISG report goes on to state it it had found only one offer of uranium to Baghdad since 1991, an approach which Iraq appeared to have turned down; further notes that the Government has provided no evidence to rebut this finding but is now relying on the conclusion of the Government appointed Butler Committee; but notes that Lord Butler's conclusions on the uranium claim only refer to the credibility of UK and US assertions made prior to 7th March 2003, the date the International Atomic Energy Agency revealed forged intelligence documents; and therefore calls on the Government to provide new evidence to counter the Iraq Survey Group findings or withdraw their isolated claim that Iraq sought to procure uranium from Africa.

That this House notes that the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (BTWC) binds signatories not to transfer to any nation any agents, toxins, weapons and equipment of biological and toxin warfare and provides that any nation finding another signatory in breach of this undertaking may lodge a complaint to the Security Council; understands that the Riegle Report to the US Senate has published evidence that the US sold biological materials including Bacillus Anthracis, Clostridium Botulinum, Histoplasma capsulatum, Brucella, Melitensis and Clostridium Perfringens to various agencies of the Iraqi Government pursuant to export licenses issued by the US Department of Commerce, in quantities set out in the Report and at the time when the US was fully aware of the Iraqi biological warfare programme and that these exports have been fully documented and are also set out in the 23rd September 2002 edition of Newsweek and by Senator Robert Byrd in speeches in the Senate on 20th and 26th September 2002; requests the Government to exercise its power to report these sales to the Security Council of the United Nations in the light of its commitment in the April 2002 Green Paper, Strengthening Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention that, those at every level responsible for any breach of international law relating to the use of such weapons will be held personally accountable because compliance with the BTWC is an issue the international community cannot avoid; and urges the Prime Minister either to lodge the necessary complaint with the Security Council of the UN or change his stated policy after an appropriate public announcement and discussion.

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 reiterates the reminder of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) following the fighting in Fallujah, that complying with international humanitarian law in Iraq is an obligation and not an option; endorses the ICRC view that killing of non-combatants or those no longer fighting, torture of non-combatants and combatants and the taking of hostages whether Iraqi or foreign, are all prohibited for all parties to the conflict and under any circumstances; recognises that adequate medical care for the wounded, either friend or foe, must be provided and that there is a duty to help civilians caught up in fighting to obtain the basic food, water and health care; and reminds all parties to the Iraqi conflict that violation of these and other tenets of international humanitarian law must lead to those responsible being held accountable.

That this House notes that many families have loved ones currently serving in Iraq and many of them will not return before Christmas; further notes that although parcels can be sent to serving soldiers from the sorting point in London free of charge, it can be costly to send such parcels to the sorting point; and calls upon the Government to introduce a scheme whereby family members can send parcels to soldiers serving in Iraq free of charge regardless of the place from where they send the parcel.

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 recalls that the last time an American administration put pressure on a British Labour government to provide troops to back the United States' plans to escalate an ill-judged war was in 1970 over Vietnam; remembers that this House debated the request on 5th May 1970, on a motion proposed by a former leader of the Labour party, the then honourable Member for Ebbw Vale. Michael Foot, who put the argument that day that the escalating events can have the gravest consequences for us all; notes that he pleaded that in his opinion it was 'sheer despair for people to say that nothing that we can do or say can have much influence on such distant occurrences and keep our mouths shut, and possibly keep our eyes closed as well', Official Report, 5th May 1970, column 208; agrees with his prediction that 'the military machine of the United States can create a wilderness and desolation, but it can never win a victory in Vietnam', Official Report, 5th May 1970, column 214; and therefore calls upon the Prime Minister to follow his predecessor's example from 34 years ago and refuse to co-operate with American plans to escalate this immoral and illegal war in its planned siege of Fallujah.

That this House notes that on 4th June 2003, Official Report, column 161, the Prime Minister stated, in respect of those expressing doubt over his certainty that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction, that when a series of allegations are made, all described by the Prime Minister as untrue, that it was important, if people had evidence to justify such allegations, that that evidence be given; further notes that he stated that he had no doubt that the Iraq Survey Group would find the clearest possible evidence of weapons of mass destruction; further notes that the Iraq Survey Group has delivered its final report and has found no weapons of mass destruction; and therefore calls upon the Prime Minister to follow his own prescription and provide the House with the evidence upon which he based his allegations regarding Iraqi weapons of mass destruction.

That this House expresses its grave concern at the institution and discontinuance of criminal proceedings against Katharine Gun; notes that the prosecution was pending for three months from the date of charge during which time legal advice must have been given at the highest level to the effect that a clear prima facie case existed against Miss Gun; further notes that the discontinuance was coincident with requests by the defence for Government documents relating to the war against Iraq; considers that statements purporting to provide reasons for the discontinuance are presently inadequate and wanting in particularity; calls upon the Government forthwith to make public and place in the Libraries of both Houses of Parliament (a) counsels' opinions relating to the institution, continuance and discontinuance of the case against Miss Gun and (b) all advices on the legality of the war on Iraq provided to Government by the Attorney General or counsel retained on his behalf; and further calls for the appointment of independent senior counsel to review the proceedings against Miss Gun and to report to Parliament on the circumstances in which they were begun and brought to an end.
