That this House congratulates Elizabeth Wilmshurst, former senior international legal adviser at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, for her clear and candid evidence to the Chilcot Inquiry into the invasion of Iraq and its aftermath on 26 January 2010; notes her revelation that every legal adviser at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in 2002-03 judged the invasion of Iraq without explicit authorisation by the United Nations Security Council would be unlawful; and calls on the current Justice Secretary to consider his position in light of his rejection of this advice when holding the post as Foreign Secretary.
