Security Situation In Iraq
EDM number 1668 in 2002-03, proposed by Michael Ancram on 10/09/2003.
That this House notes the deteriorating security situation in Iraq since the end of the conflict; recognises the need for extra troops to be deployed; is concerned that the lack of security has resulted in NGOs removing staff from Iraq; further notes with concern that the lack of security has forced the UN now to operate from a neighbouring country; remembers that on 24th September 2002, the Shadow Foreign Secretary warned the Government that if they were to embark upon war, there must be a blueprint with plans and resources so that a democratic, prosperous and renewed Iraq could quickly enter the family of nations and the global economy; regrets that the Government ignored these and other warnings from Her Majesty's Opposition; further regrets that inadequate post-conflict planning has contributed to the deterioration of security in Iraq; has every faith that British troops will do their best despite political dithering; and calls for an urgent independent judicial inquiry into the mishandling of post-conflict operations in Iraq.
This motion has been signed by a total of 22 MPs.
