Proceeding contribution from John Baron (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 14 July 2016. It occurred during Debate on Report of the Iraq Inquiry.
Report of the Iraq Inquiry
I have great respect for my right hon. Friend, as he will know. However, I suggest that, on this issue, it was not just about intelligence sourcing from here. The United Nations inspectors at the time were pleading for more time because they could not find the WMDs upon which premise we were going to war. We should have listened to them as well. Ultimately, the reason they could not find the WMDs is that they did not exist.
