[Up to three hours]

CONDUCT OF GOVERNMENT POLICY IN RELATION TO THE WAR IN IRAQ AND ITS AFTERMATH
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
That this House believes that there should be a select committee of seven honourable Members, being members of Her Majesty’s
Privy Council, to review the way in which the responsibilities of Government were discharged in relation to Iraq and all matters
relevant thereto, in the period leading up to military action in that country in March 2003 and in its aftermath.
|
|
|
As Amendments to Mr Alex Salmond’s proposed Motion (Conduct of Government policy in relation to the war in Iraq and its aftermath):
|
|
|
|
|
Line 1, leave out from ‘House’ to end and add ‘recognising that there have already been four separate independent committees of
inquiry into military action in Iraq and recognising the importance of learning all possible lessons from military action
in Iraq and its aftermath, declines at this time, whilst the whole effort of the Government and the armed forces is directed
towards improving the condition of Iraq, to make a proposal for a further inquiry which would divert attention from this vital
task.’.
|
|
|
Line 1, leave out from ‘be’ to ‘to’ in line 2 and insert ‘an inquiry by an independent committee of Privy Counsellors to be established
during the next session of Parliament’.
|
|
The selection of the matter to be debated this day has been made by the Leaders of the Scottish National Party and Plaid Cymru.
|
|
Debate may continue for three hours and Standing Order No. 31(2) will apply (Order of 26th October).
