'Blair and PM must be heard'
Huddersfield Daily Examiner (Huddersfield, England), June 24, 2009
TONY Blair and Gordon Brown must give evidence on the Iraq war in public, Tory leader David Cameron demanded on the eve of a crunch vote on the nature of forthcoming inquiry.
He said his party would use a Commons debate today to push for a "proper U-turn" after the Prime Minister was forced amid high-profile criticism to abandon plans for a behind-closed-doors probe.
Sir John Chilcot, the former Whitehall mandarin asked by Mr Brown to chair the inquiry, said that it was "essential to hold as much of the proceedings of the inquiry as possible in public".
He has also agreed to look into what alternative can be found to putting witnesses under oath, impossible as the probe is not a full-scale judicial inquiry..
