Alan Simpson MP tabled the following early day motion a couple of days ago in the House of Commons. It currently has twenty signatures. An EDM is not debated, but stays on the agenda papers of the House of Commons for as long as new signatures keep being added. It can be viewed on http://edm.ais.co.uk/weblink/html/motion.html/ref=252 That this House regrets that British and American forces continue to fire over 100 missiles a month at targets inside Iraq and have done so throughout the whole of the last year; questions the moral and military value of this approach and of the £4.5 million per month which it costs the United Kingdom to pursue it; and urges the Government to end the bombing, lift the sanctions and re-direct expenditure towards the tragedy of child mortality in Iraq which has doubled in the nine years since sanctions were imposed.
