Chilcot confirms beyond doubt that Iraq was against the public interest - Mulholland

July 30, 2010 1:00 PM

Greg Mulholland MP said today that the Chilcot inquiry brings to light clear evidence against the previous Government's decision to go to war.

Greg, who has been a staunch and vocal opponent of Britain's military involvement in the war in Iraq, stressed the significance of the inquiry.

Commenting Greg said:

"One thing the Chilcot inquiry is confirming beyond doubt is that the previous Government did not act in our interests when taking us to war.

"While events surrounding British involvement in Iraq have been deplorable, I am heartened to see that the truth is finally being drawn out.

"Myself and my Liberal Democrat colleagues, especially Ming Campbell and Charles Kennedy, have argued this point for many years. I am glad we are now approaching an official consensus."

    If you are a resident of the Leeds North West constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
