PARLIAMENTARY DEBATE ON IRAQ

Early day motion 2840, tabled 24 October 2006 by John Baron (Conservative). Signed by 86 members.

That this House regrets the lack of an opportunity hitherto to hold a full and proper debate in the House regarding the situation in Iraq, given the significance of recent comments made by Chief of the General Staff Sir Richard Dannatt; notes that, irrespective of whether the original decision to invade Iraq was right or wrong, the public, armed forces and media are discussing the current state of affairs and future policy options in light of the General's comments; and believes that Parliament should be given further opportunity to do so.

Signatures by party: Conservative 32, Liberal Democrat 24, Labour 23, Independent 2, DUP 1, Independent Labour 1, Plaid Cymru 1, Respect 1, Scottish National Party 1.
