Local Liberal Democrats have sent a petition to Tony Blair signed by hundred of local residents demanding a full and wide ranging inquiry into why Britain went to war in Iraq. Local Parliamentary spokesperson Lynne Featherstone and Greater London Authority candidate Wayne Hoban [see photo] say that the Government must answer questions on whether Britain went to war on a ‘flawed prospectus’, and allow a wide-ranging inquiry on the issue.

Lynne Featherstone comments:

“Tony Blair has revealed that he did not ask key questions about the nature of the weapons on mass destruction that formed the basis on the attack on Iraq.These and other questions will remained unanswered by the present inquiry.”

Wayne Hoban adds:

“We need a full inquiry into the reasons Britain went to war. We have had a big response from local residents to our petition on the issue which shows the strength of local concern.”
