HC Deb 22 January 2001 vol 361 c653 3.30 pm
Mr. Tam Dalyell (Linlithgow)

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. Have you had a request from the Ministry of Defence to make a statement about the circumstances in which six civilians were killed on Saturday by a UK/US missile strike in Iraq, near the town of Samarra about 75 miles from Baghdad, and the consequent destruction of a cattle feed centre? What on earth are we up to, destroying cattle feed centres? Ought not the Ministry of Defence to explain the circumstances?

Mr. Speaker

I thank the hon. Gentleman for giving me notice of his point of order, but I have had no contact from the Department that he mentions.
