Description

The Scott inquiry into sale of arms to Iraq was launched after the trial of three Matrix Churchill executives accused of exporting arms to Iraq collapsed amidst accusations that government ministers had covertly encouraged the exports by secretly changing guidelines on exports and using gagging orders incorrectly. One of the men cleared, Trevor Abraham, says he’s pleased by the Scott Report’s findings.
