The majority of MPs voted against a comprehensive independent judicial inquiry into the Iraq war.
The majority of MPs voted against the motion:[1]
- This House
- is concerned at growing public confusion since the summer adjournment as a result of increasingly conflicting accounts of intelligence relating to and events leading up to the recent Iraq war and what has happened since; and
- calls for the setting up of a comprehensive independent judicial inquiry into the Government's handling of the run-up to the war, of the war itself, and of its aftermath, and into the legal advice which it received.
