Iraq: Weapons

Volume 471: debated on Tuesday 29 January 2008

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will place in the Library a copy of the Williams draft of his Department's dossier on Iraq's Weapons of Mass Destruction. (183095)

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office is currently considering the Information Tribunal's judgment in this case and the legal options available to it. It would therefore not be appropriate to place a copy in the Library of the House at this stage. If, and when, the document is released a copy will be made available for the Library.

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs (1) whether the Government have intelligence that Iraq sought to procure uranium from Niger that it still believes to be accurate and that was unknown to the US at the time that the US expressed reservations on the Government's September 2002 Iraq dossier, further to paragraph 93 of the Intelligence and Security Committee Report, Cm 5972, of September 2003; (183226)

(2) whether both the Government's June 2002 and September 2002 sources of intelligence that Iraq sought to purchase uranium from Africa, referred to in paragraph 89 of the Intelligence and Security Committee Report, Cm 5972, of September 2003, were either passed to or discussed with the International Atomic Energy Agency the information they had on that issue.
