That this House notes that on 11th February this year the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) posted on the Iraqi Rewards Programme section of its web site details of rewards that will be available for specific and verifiable information on the location of stocks of recently made chemical or biological weapons munitions, missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles, or their component parts, the location of chemical or biological laboratories and factories, development and production sites, and test sites associated with weapons of mass destruction, or sites where these materials were secretly disposed of, weapons system plans, military orders, or other relevant documents about biological and chemical weapons, missiles, or unmanned aerial vehicles, and Iraqis who are able and willing to provide detailed information on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction programmes and efforts to hide them; recalls how on 5th February 2003 US Secretary of State, Colin Powell, addressed the UN Security Council on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction programme saying his purpose was 'to provide you with additional information to share with you what the United States knows about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction', adding 'indeed, the facts and Iraq's behaviour show that Saddam Hussein and his regime are concealing their efforts to produce more weapons of mass destruction'; and believes that the Government should authorise the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) to back their US counterparts, the CIA, to support this latest attempt to find the missing Iraqi weapons of mass destruction.

That this House notes that the outgoing Head of the Iraq Survey Group, Dr David Kay, told the New York Times in an interview published on 26th January that his team had uncovered no evidence that Niger had tried to sell uranium to Iraq for its nuclear weapons programme and that the original reports on Niger have been found to be based on forged documents, and that the Bush administration has since backed away from its initial assertions; contrasts this with the reply by the Prime Minister to the honourable Member for Blaenau Gwent on 28th October 2003 in which he said that the United Kingdom ensured that the International Atomic Energy Agency was made aware of the contents of non-UK-owned intelligence on apparent Iraqi attempts to procure uranium from Niger, and shared all relevant UK-owned material with the IAEA and United Nations Monitoring Vertification and Inspection Commission on these alleged uranium procurement activities; and calls upon the Government to explain, and publish, the exact source of its beliefs that Iraq tried to obtain uranium from Niger for its nuclear weapons programme.

That this House agrees with the comments made by the Secretary of State for Wales to the Sunday Telegraph, published on 6th April that in respect of Iraq 'What is crucial is that the UN is put in charge after the interim transitional arrangements'; notes that in the draft resolution proposed by the United Kingdom, United States and Spain to the United Nations Security Council on 9th May it suggests only a co-ordinating role for the United Nations, and instead proposes to create a new Iraq Authority comprising the United Kingdom and United States as conquering powers following their invasion of Iraq; and asks that the Welsh Secretary clarify his position on the draft resolution in light of his earlier contradictory remarks.

That this House believes the threat made in his interview with David Frost on 2nd February by the Defence Secretary to use nuclear weapons against Iraq is morally repugnant and diplomatically suicidal; recognises that the use of nuclear weapons would have the capacity to kill and maim tens of thousands of people, as well as to contaminate radioactively huge areas of land and water, and to render ecologically dead parts of the ecosphere; insists that the United Kingdom's status as guardian of the 1968 nuclear nonproliferation treaty which this country co-authored with other nuclear armed states, and for which it is one of three depositary states, means the United Kingdom has a special responsibility to uphold the Treaty; recalls that at the latest review conference of the NPT at the United Nations in New York, the United Kingdom reaffirmed that it would not use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear weapon states parties to the NPT, except in the case of an invasion or any other attack on them, their territories, their armed forces or other troops, their allies, or on a state to which they have security commitment, carried out or sustained by such a non-nuclear-weapon state in 'association or alliance' with a nuclear-weapon state; notes that these circumstances do not prevail with Iraq; and calls upon the Prime Minister to withdraw this unacceptable and incredible threat to humanity by the threatened use of weapons of mass destruction.

That this House commends the article by Dr Rowan Williams, the next Archbishop of Canterbury, in the Daily Telegraph on 5th November; agrees with his analysis that military conflict initiated by the United States with United Kingdom support against Iraq could escalate into a nuclear conflict involving Israel; recognises with horror the huge numbers of innocent civilians and military conscripts who would die if nuclear weapons were exploded over or near densely populated cities in the middle east; further recognises that radioactively contaminated clouds show no respect for national borders, as the Chernobyl accident showed; and calls for all efforts be made to reach a diplomatic solution to the Iraq crisis.

That this House condemns the increasing practice of Ministers in replying to parliamentary questions in the form of personal letters to honourable and Right honourable Members; deplores the refusal of the President of the Board of Trade to publish in the Official Report his letter on the financing of defence equipment to Iraq by the Export Credits Guarantee Department to the honourable Member for Birmingham, Selly Oak, as set out in his Answer to the honourable Member for Blaenau, Gwent, Official Report, 19th January, column 158; declares the ??54.3m guarantees made available to Iraq for weapons by the ECGD to be a disgrace; and demands a full public explanation by the Government.

That this House notes that on the announcement of the terms of reference of the judicial inquiry into the export of arms and other military equipment to Iraq made by the Attorney General on 10th November, the honourable Members for Chesterfield and Linlithgow, respectively, sought assurances that parliamentary accountability by Ministers over questions on military sales to Iraq would still be paramount, Official Report, columns 755-6; and is therefore extremely concerned that a succession of Government Ministers have subsequently refused to provide substantive answers to questions by honourable Members on export controls and arms exports to Iraq on the grounds that 'matters relating to the export of defence equipment to Iraq are for Lord Justice Scott's Inquiry to consider' in reply to the honourable Member for Blaenau Gwent, 14th December 1992, Official Report, column 24, and 'the development and application of the guidelines will be a matter for the Scott Inquiry' in reply to the honourable Member for Neath, 9th December 1992, Official Report, column 667; and demands that Ministers treat this House with due respect, and forthwith provide substantive answers to all questions asked concerning military sales to Iraq.
