Armed Forces Bill

Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Corbyn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 22 May 2006. It occurred during Debate on bills on Armed Forces Bill.
The hon. Gentleman is missing the point. The decision to deploy British troops is made under the royal prerogative. Parliament was consulted by the Prime Minister before we went into what I believe to be an illegal war in Iraq. Surely the issue is the legality in international law, which has not been argued for and has not been sustained in the case of Iraq.
