Report of the Iraq Inquiry

Proceeding contribution from Peter Kyle (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 6 July 2016. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Report of the Iraq Inquiry.

I am very grateful, Mr Speaker.

From my early and hurried reading of the report, I can see no evidence that anybody acted in bad faith. However, I am very aware that the report refers to a war that started 13 years ago. There have been several conflicts since; we intervened in Libya with airstrikes but not ground troops, and in Syria we did not act for several years. Is there anything about those subsequent conflicts, in which the Prime Minister led, that leads him to disagree with some of the report’s conclusions? That would give us an updated view so that we do not base all our future actions on a report about a war 13 years ago?
