Bcci And Iraq

EDM number 798 in 1992-93, proposed by Peter Hain on 11/11/1992.

That this House notes the evidence contained in Senator John Kerry's Congressional Committee Report on BCCI that the bank was used to facilitate the sale of defence equipment to Saddam Hussein in Iraq, and the role of the British intelligence agencies on holding accounts in BCCI; calls for the publication of Appendix 8 of the Bingham Report and for the files and documents sealed by MI5 to be made available to an independent inquiry and Select Committee in order to establish whether the British Government connived with MI5, MI6 or any other British intelligence agency, with or without the knowledge of the Prime Minister of the day, in the supply of defence equipment to Iraq as revealed in the Matrix-Churchill case.

This motion has been signed by a total of 52 MPs.
