Quite right!
There was very little support from anyone in the House yesterday for Hoon's statement. His statement continued to show that there was insuffcient evidence to make the verdict of gross negligence sustainable; he still cannot show that there was 'absolutely no doubt whatsoever'......
The Shadow Defence Spokesman neatly summarised the flaws in Hoon's argument; however, Hoon did seem to concede that a Judicial Review was one possibility for the way ahead. But should such a review proceed and were it to find against Hoon's statement, would the government still cling to its position? Or would it have to fall in line?
