Right Hon. Tony Blair's Evidence To The Chilcot Inquiry

EDM number 801 in 2009-10, proposed by John McDonnell on 03/02/2010.
Categorised under the topic of Iran.

That this House notes former Prime Minister right hon. Tony Blair's comments about Iran during his evidence to the inquiry into the war on Iraq; considers them deeply unhelpful and an astonishing breach of the inquiry's remit; expresses regret that Sir John Chilcot felt unable to intervene during Mr Blair's hawkish transgression; is dismayed that Mr Blair should use such a high profile appearance to crudely pre-empt UK foreign policy on Iran; and believes that this confirms that he is a barrier to rather than a facilitator of peace in the Middle East.

This motion has been signed by a total of 17 MPs.
