Obligation To Pass Intelligence To The International Atomic Energy Authority

EDM number 1540 in 2002-03, proposed by Lynne Jones on 07/07/2003.

That this House notes the comment from the Prime Minister in a letter dated 22nd May to the honourable Member for Birmingham, Selly Oak that 'we remain confident that Iraq sought to procure significant quantities of uranium from Africa'; further notes that in its report to the Security Council on 7th March, the International Atomic Energy Agency concluded that this specific allegation was unfounded; also notes the question by the honourable member for Birmingham, Selly Oak to the Foreign Secretary asking whether access to all information in his possession of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction was given to the Chief Weapons Inspector and the Director General of the IAEA; and the answer given by the honourable Member for North Warwickshire that the Government shared all relevant information about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction with the weapons inspection teams from both UNMOVIC and the IAEA; further notes the question put by the honourable Member for Birmingham, Selly Oak to the Foreign Secretary asking when the UK Government gave the IAEA information upon which it based its assessment about attempts by Iraq to procure uranium from Africa; and the answer given by the honourable Member for Rotherham, that the UK Government did not pass to the IAEA any information on Iraqi attempts to procure uranium; and therefore questions why the UK Government has not submitted the evidence, upon which it bases its assessment, to IAEA scrutiny, in line with its obligations under Security Council Resolutions.

This motion has been signed by a total of 37 MPs.
