Categorised under the topics of Armed forces, Iraq and North America.

That this House notes that, according to an article in The Independent on 5th June, the US administration is attempting to negotiate an agreement with the Iraqi government to maintain 50 permanent US military bases in Iraq; further notes that this would create a permanent occupation of Iraq, a state of affairs which has no legal or moral basis; and calls upon the Government to resume and complete the withdrawal of British troops from Iraq to demonstrate opposition to the US administration's unacceptable policy.

This motion has been signed by a total of 29 MPs.
