The War Against Iraq

EDM number 252 in 1999-00, proposed by Alan Simpson on 12/01/2000.

That this House regrets that British and American forces continue to fire over 100 missiles a month at targets inside Iraq and have done so throughout the whole of the last year; questions the moral and military value of this approach and of the ú4.5 million per month which it costs the United Kingdom to pursue it; and urges the Government to end the bombing, lift the sanctions and re-direct expenditure towards the tragedy of child mortality in Iraq which has doubled in the nine years since sanctions were imposed.

This motion has been signed by a total of 27 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
