I can remember-in fact, the memory haunts me as though it happened just yesterday-the night we debated whether to get involved in the conflict in Iraq.

Members could vote about whether to get involved there. Yet again, we take the American lead, and I heard...

[Mr. Christopher Chope in the Chair] — Human Rights (Iran) (8 Jul 2009)

David Amess: ...I believed everything that he said, and was misguided enough not to join the 18 of my colleagues who voted against that war, which has had disastrous consequences.
