The majority of MPs voted against the publication of the Attorney-General's advice on the legality of the war in Iraq.
The majority of MPs voted to reject the motion:
-
This House believes that all advice prepared by the Attorney-General on the legality of the war in Iraq should be published in full.
The new motion in its place passed without a vote:
-
This House
-
notes the long-standing convention, followed by successive governments, that the advice of the Law Officers is given in confidence and is not disclosed publicly;
-
notes, however, the Answer given in the House of Lords by the Attorney General on 17th March 2003[1] which set out his view of the legal basis of the use of force against Iraq, and the letter of the same date from the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs to the Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee giving more detail of the legal position; and
-
believes that the priority now for the Government is to help the Iraqi people rebuild Iraq.
The Attorney-General's legal advice on the legality of the Iraq invasion was the subject in a legal case.[2] It was eventually published a year later during the 2005 general election.[3]
The publication of the advice can be seen as enabling an effective, public, inquiry into the war.
