Opposition Day — [9th Allotted Day]: Iraq War Inquiry (25 Mar 2009) has video

Opposition Day — [9th Allotted Day]: Iraq War Inquiry (25 Mar 2009) has video

Adam Holloway: ...will not be able to do that if we do not try to understand what happened. If we had sat down on 12 September 2001, written on the back of a cigarette packet a plan called "How to lose the war on terror" and acted on it, we would have done many of the things that Britain and America have done. The invasion of Afghanistan, of course, was brilliantly executed and our troops and intelligence...

Bills Presented: Iraq: Future Strategic Relationship (14 Jan 2009) has video

Adam Holloway: ...many friends in the Gulf remain nervous of Iraq and its history. We now have a great opportunity to try to break down that mistrust and set up Iraq as a bulwark against Iran's continued export of terror. The Government's narrative is that the job is done in southern Iraq, but they choose to ignore some of the worrying reports of evolving terror networks, of which the Minister will be...

Adam Holloway: ...;and I could put it another way if the House wanted me to. Furthermore, by focusing almost exclusively on the military effect, we are in danger of losing what has become known as the global war on terror. The consequences of all that are enormously seriously. I shall not bang on, but I should like to read what someone said in 1850 about Britain's engagement in the first Afghan war; it...

[David Taylor in the Chair] — Helmand Province (17 Jun 2008)

Adam Holloway: ...the situation 150 years ago. Our intelligence picture is likely to be considerably better and we will have something resembling an Afghan state. We are making a big mistake in the so-called war on terror—I would love to think of a different name because that is not apt. There are lots of broadly nationalist movements in the middle east and we make our problems worse because we lump...

Public Bill Committee: Counter-Terrorism Bill: Written evidence to be reported to the House (22 Apr 2008)

Point of Order: Defence in the UK (26 Apr 2007)

Adam Holloway: .... The good-news-only culture obscures problems and increases the likelihood of a second strategic failure, this time in Afghanistan, which will be reflected on Arab television screens. In terms of terrorism, that will not contribute to the defence of the UK. Every day, we are deluding ourselves.

Dna Database (30 Mar 2006)

Adam Holloway: ..., they give a statistical likelihood of two similar DNA samples being one in 1 billion. The country—and my constituents who travel into London day after day—face another gigantic threat from terrorism. Eye-popping work is being done using DNA, as the Under-Secretary knows. Of the four July suicide bombers, we held DNA on only one. If we had had more, the police and national...

Orders of the Day — Identity Cards Bill (28 Jun 2005)

Adam Holloway: .... What would ID cards do about the huge, unknown quantity of people like Mike, some of whom are perhaps not as productive as he is? I am not convinced that they would help. My second anecdote involves terrorism. In 2003, I found myself in northern Iraq. At that time, there was an area right up on the Iranian border that was controlled by Ansar al-Islam, an organisation affiliated to...
