Report of the Iraq Inquiry

Proceeding contribution from David Davis (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 13 July 2016. It occurred during Debate on Report of the Iraq Inquiry.

The right hon. Lady said that we did not know at the time. However, on 15 March 2002, the JIC said that the intelligence on Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missile programmes was sporadic and patchy. Three weeks later, in Texas, Tony Blair said:

“We know he has been developing these weapons. We know that those weapons constitute a threat”.

How did we not know at the time, and how is that consistent?
