There is a significant amount of unease amongst members of the British Parliament about the prospect of war against Iraq.

Many of the Prime Minister's own party have been expressing reservations about the moral basis for such a war.

Chris Smith, a former member of Tony Blair's Cabinet, is one of the more senior members of the Labour Party to speak out.

Tim Sebastian asks him under what circumstances he would support a decision to go to war.
