DEBATE ON THE IRAQ WAR

Motion Text

That this House is deeply concerned that there has been no opportunity for a full debate in Parliament on the Government's policy on Iraq since 2004, a period of two years; notes that the US Congress has debated this issue on several occasions, most recently in June 2006; draws attention to the continuing heavy loss of life of Iraqi citizens as well as of Coalition forces personnel; notes the accelerating social and political disintegration of that country; and calls on the Government to provide further opportunities for examination by Parliament as a matter of urgency, to examine current policy, and the continuing role of British troops in Iraq.
