Iraq Inquiry

Debate between Paul Flynn and George Galloway

Thursday 29th January 2015 Commons Chamber

[Mr Straw]

I dealt only briefly with the intervention from the hon. Member for Basildon and Billericay (Mr Baron) because this debate is about the Iraq inquiry and its timing, not about the substance, and I would have been slapped down very quickly. For the avoidance of doubt, however, the whole Security Council judged in November 2002 that there was a threat to international peace and security from Saddam’s weapons of mass destruction.

[George Galloway]

Because they believed you and Colin Powell.

[Paul Flynn]

Because they were fooled. The right hon. Gentleman should recall—[Interruption.]
