I have again been misrepresented by the Prime Minister. He persists in this argument that somehow or other I was half in support or in support of his war effort. He got that absolutely wrong. We opposed it absolutely and sensibly on this side of the House. Simply because we thought there might have been weapons of mass destruction did not cause us to think we should go down such an idiotic path.
