Rejected petition Abolish Iraq Historic Allegations Team (IHAT) and any similar organisation.

IHAT are currently and have been paramount in the investigation and prosecution of UK Service Personnel who are essentially "Doing their job."

More details

We require this petition to be opened for debate in parliament for two reasons:
1. Service personnel act under mandate and management of the British government and as such we believe that this 'management' must be held responsible and not the service personnel.
2. We believe this organisation is a waste of tax payers money. The armed services have their own investigatory powers and as such this organisation is not required and has essentially achieved very little.
