Iraq Inquiry

Jim Cunningham Excerpts

Thursday 29th January 2015 Commons Chamber

[Mr Grieve]

I can see where my hon. Friend is coming from, but his question goes into the realms of speculation. On the face of it, if the inquiry, which has been properly set up and conducted, makes a report—a Privy Council report—to Parliament, I do not see why such an issue should arise. My concern is to get an explanation.

[Mr Jim Cunningham (Coventry South) (Lab)]

In 2012, the right hon. and learned Gentleman was in government and he had the impression that the inquiry would report at that time. He was still in government after 2012. What impression did he have then about the delays?

[Mr Grieve]

The hon. Gentleman asks me to stray into areas where I do not think I should go.
