Report of the Iraq Inquiry

Proceeding contribution from Alex Salmond (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 13 July 2016. It occurred during Debate on Report of the Iraq Inquiry.

The Foreign Secretary will have seen the comments of Robin Butler before publication of the Chilcot report last week. According to Robin Butler,

“The legality or illegality of the Iraq war was never a question Sir John Chilcot was asked to deal with”,

so why will not the Government release the documents which might give the public and Parliament an insight into why the Chilcot inquiry did not have the remit and was not qualified to deal with the legality question?
