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]
Secrecy
The Iraq Inquiry has come under criticism for being held in secret. There was also anger over Brown's demand that it "try to avoid apportioning blame" for the Iraq War.[3]
