Blair faces Iraq pull-out debate
Tom Happold in Brighton
Monday September 27, 2004
Tony Blair will face calls for him to set an early date for the withdrawal of British forces from Iraq when Labour conference debates the conflict on Thursday.
Delegates will then vote on two motions critical of the prime minister's conduct in the run-up to the war, one of which describes the occupation as "unjustifiably destructive".
Thursday's debate comes after local party delegates yesterday defied the Labour leadership's desire for a conference focused on domestic "bread and butter" issues and voted for an emergency debate on Iraq.
The 10 resolutions submitted by local parties were then boiled down to just two motions, or composites, during late-night negotiations.
Although party managers succeeded in excluding from both motions calls for the immediate withdrawal of troops, they could not stop the tabling of one which is deeply critical of the government's Iraq policy.
It calls on ministers "to recognise that the continuing occupation of Iraq is unjustifiably destructive of both lives and resources and calls on the prime minister to name an early date for the withdrawal of British forces".
Party managers will be hoping that this motion fails and that delegates will instead back one calling for British troops to remain in Iraq until after January's planned elections.
British forces must then be withdrawn "as soon as possible but only in accordance with the wished of the newly elected Iraqi government", it reads.
Although the motion is implicitly critical of Mr Blair's conduct in the run-up to war - calling on him to act "within the UN framework" in future - it accepts that he "acted in good faith".
The fate of the two motions will largely depend on the actions of the "big four" unions - Amicus, Unison, the T&G and the GMB - who have enough combined votes to swing conference.
Their delegations will meet over the next few days to decide which way they will vote, though Unison and the T&G are expected to back both of the motions.
