Proceeding contribution from Lord Clarke of Nottingham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 13 July 2016. It occurred during Debate on Report of the Iraq Inquiry.
Report of the Iraq Inquiry
I had it in mind that my right hon. Friend would get a bit more time.
Does my right hon. Friend think, with hindsight, that given that Hans Blix was perfectly willing to carry on with inspections, if the Americans could have been persuaded to delay for another month, all this could have been avoided? The Americans dismissed Blix, however, and regarded him as a waste of time; they were trying to get him out of the way.
