Latest revision as of 03:31, 15 December 2010
On 15 June 2009, Gordon Brown announced the establishment of "an independent Privy Councillor committee of inquiry which will consider the period from summer 2001, before military operations began in March 2003, and our subsequent involvement in Iraq right up to the end of July this year."[1]
The Iraq Inquiry was officially launched on 30 July 2009.[2]
Contents
Secrecy
There was widespread criticism after Prime Minister Gordon Brown announced in June 2009 that the Inquiry would be held in secret.[3] The chairman of the Inquiry, Sir John Chilcot subsequently wrote to the Prime Minister that: " I believe it will be essential to hold as much of the proceedings of the inquiry as possible in public, consistent with the need to protect national security and to ensure and enable complete candour in the oral and written evidence from witnesses."[4]
Under a protocol agreed between the Inquiry and the Government, the Inquiry cannot release any information from documents provided by the Government without the Government's permission.[5] Journalist Chris Ames has charged that the protocol gives the Government an effective veto over what witnesses can be asked at the inquiry.[6]
Advisors
The Inquiry appointed General Sir Roger Wheeler and Dame Rosalyn Higgins QC as advisors in October 2009.[7] Wheeler's appointment was questioned because of his role as a director of Aegis Defence Services, a company which had profited from the Iraq War.[8]
