“GOVERNMENT ONLY HAVE THEMSELVES TO BLAME FOR INFORMATION TRIBUNAL IRAQ RULING” – MING CAMPBELL

Sir Menzies Campbell MP has commented on the news that the Information Tribunal today ordered the Government to release minutes of crucial Cabinet meetings from 2003 at which the invasion of Iraq was discussed.

Sir Menzies said: “This is a major step forward in explaining the supine attitude of the Cabinet towards military action and is clearly in the public interest.

“The Government only have themselves to blame by procrastinating over an enquiry into the political events before the Iraq war. They have left themselves wide open.”
