Johann Lamont, leader of the Labour Party in Scotland, supported the Iraq war in 2003.
Official Report Debate Contributions: Plenary, 16 January 2003: "The lesson that we should take from the North Korean situation
is that we must act against Saddam Hussein now if he has weapons of
mass destruction, as a time will come when Iraq's having such weapons
will create a danger for the entire international community."
Official Report Debate Contributions: Meeting of the Parliament 19 March 2013: "I believed that action needed United Nations endorsement and I was and
am on record as saying that, if that endorsement had not been
forthcoming, I would have voted against the war if I had been in the
House of Commons. However, if I am absolutely honest, given that my
argument was based not on weapons of mass destruction but on Saddam
Hussein’s tyranny and what we did to the people of Iraq after the first
Iraq war, I am still not certain what I would have done."
