PARLIAMENT AND IRAQ

Early day motion 733, tabled 12 February 2003 by Tony Wright (Labour). Signed by 126 members.

That this House notes that it has not approved any military action against Iraq; believes that any such action should require prior approval by a vote in this House and not rely on prerogative power alone; does not accept in this case that such a vote would in any way compromise our armed forces; and demands an unequivocal confirmation that such a vote will be held.

Signatures by party: Labour 89, Liberal Democrat 18, Labour/Co-operative 6, Conservative 4, Plaid Cymru 3, Scottish National Party 3, Independent 1, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1, UUP 1.
