Britain may call for Iraq to meet a deadline for the readmission of UN weapons inspectors to the country, the government said today.
The idea was put forward earlier this year by the House of Commons foreign affairs select committee and has won cautious backing from ministers in the official government response to the committee's report on terrorism, published today.
Ministers said that they were prepared to consider imposing a deadline for the Iraqi leader, Saddam Hussein, to comply with UN security council resolutions on weapons inspections.
"Existing UN resolutions require immediate Iraqi compliance, including on weapons inspections. The government will nonetheless be giving further consideration to this recommendation," the official response said.
It also emphasised the need to tackle Iraq's arsenal of chemical and biological weapons and acknowledged that a post-Saddam Iraq would be a "better place", but stopped short of advocating a policy of "regime change" in Baghdad.
"The government's policy is to secure full implementation of the security council resolutions relating to Iraq. It is also the government's view that Iraq would be a better place without Saddam Hussein.
"As the prime minister has made clear, we are determined to deal with the threat posed by Iraq's possession of weapons of mass destruction."
