Once again, since it's a point that has been completely ignored in all media coverage, as well as here, the Labour Party Amendment, which was opposed by all Conservatives (and I think all Lib Dems), while expressed in different words, effectively meant the same as the Government's motion.

It said that there should be no military attack until the report of the nspectors had been given to the Seccurity Council and discussed there, and a vote held, that anything done should be legal, and that there would have to be a further vote in the Commns before any British forces could be involved.

In other words, virtually the same as the Gvernment"s motion, which was why they voted against it...
