Redwood Supports Call For Iraq Inquiry
The Rt Hon John Redwood MP for Wokingham yesterday supported the Conservative's call for a full inquiry into the war in Iraq.

He supported Shadow Foreign Secretary, William Hague during a debate in Parliament. The text was as follows:

Mr. John Redwood (Wokingham) (Con):

Does my right hon. Friend agree that we have been fighting in Iraq for the cause of democracy and liberty, and that there is no finer sign that that is what we believe in than the fact we can hold a democratic debate in the House and set up a proper democratic inquiry?

What is the point of democracy if we cannot challenge how the Executive have handled a very contentious war?

Mr. Hague:

My right hon. Friend makes a powerful point.

As I have said, our predecessors in this House debated the Dardanelles.

They also debated the Morris report in 1918, to the great embarrassment of Lloyd George, and the 1940 Norway campaign. They were not scared that debating such matters might have given heart to the Germans, in either the first or the second world
war.

We will not be worthy of being their successors unless we are unafraid to debate things in this House as well.
