The BBC reports:
Almost three quarters of British people believe there should be a public inquiry into the invasion of Iraq, an opinion poll suggests. The BBC Radio 5 Live poll also found almost two thirds are not convinced UK soldiers should be kept in Afghanistan. …
The survey, conducted by ComRes for the BBC, found 72% of those questioned believe there should be an official inquiry into the UK’s role in the invasion of Iraq in 2003. This figure increases to 81% in the 18-24 age group.
Just last week, Lib Dem shadow foreign secretary Ed Davey repeated the party’s call for an official inquiry:
We need that full enquiry. Hutton was clearly a whitewash. And even Butler didn’t go far enough. I would argue that the case for a full enquiry into the Iraq war has been made from the first day, but now it’s unanswerable.”
A reminder: you can still Hold your MP to account at this Lib Dem website, allowing you to find out if your MP backed Labour’s decision to go to war with Iraq.
