PARLIAMENTARY DEBATE ON IRAQ

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.
