Tony Blair And The Chilcot Inquiry

EDM number 856 in 2009-10, proposed by Greg Mulholland on 10/02/2010.
Categorised under the topic of Iraq.

That this House regrets the weak questioning put to Tony Blair at the Chilcot Inquiry; criticises the fact that he was allowed to reply to explicit questions with long, sweeping answers; observes that he was not pushed to explain why he took Britain to war when the Attorney General's advice had questioned the legality of such action; notes that the panel at the Chilcot Inquiry gave Mr Blair the chance to admit regret for his actions surrounding the Iraq War; condemns Mr Blair for failing to express any regret over the Iraq War; further condemns him for failing to pay tribute to the 179 British men and women who have lost their lives in the conflict and the 100,000 Iraqis, as estimated by the independent Iraq Body Count; and hopes that Mr Blair is recalled for further questioning by the Chilcot panel and is pressed to deliver honest and open answers for this matter of the greatest importance.

This motion has been signed by a total of 10 MPs.
