INDEPENDENT INQUIRY INTO IRAQ WAR

Early day motion 1100, tabled 16 March 2009 by John Barrett (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 60 members.

That this House believes the invasion of Iraq was a serious foreign policy error that has destabilised the Middle East; notes that public opinion is strongly in favour of a full public inquiry into the UK's role in the 2003 invasion of Iraq; believes that such an inquiry would in no way detract from the efforts of UK armed forces personnel in Iraq who have served with bravery and distinction while helping to rebuild the country; and calls on the Government to launch a full independent inquiry into the invasion of Iraq without delay.

Signatures by party: Liberal Democrat 40, Labour 12, Scottish National Party 6, Plaid Cymru 1, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
