This is the entire speech I just gave to the House of Commons in response to the Chilcot Inquiry report into the Iraq war.

It is only a provisional response â€“ as I only received the report this morning â€“ but I will be giving a further response later today.

The intervention in Iraq was a tragic decision which lead to the deaths of 179 British personnel and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis - while destabilising the region and increasing the threat of terrorism to our own country.
