(258)  IRAQ WAR LEGALITY

 

The Attorney General responded to the petition to the Scottish Parliament (PE619) questioning the legality of the war in Iraq (see No 219) with a copy of his statement to the Westminster Parliament on the same issue.  The Public Petitions Committee agreed on 25 June 2003 to take no further action on the petition on the basis that the Scottish Parliament has already debated military action against Iraq and that further debate on that reserved matter is unlikely.
