Hearings

The first round of public hearings began on 24 November, in the QEII Conference Centre in London, and will run until early February 2010.

The Iraq Inquiry Committee will take oral evidence from those with first-hand experience of the development and implementation of British government policy in Iraq.

The first five weeks of hearings aim to establish a reliable account of the essential features of the UK's involvement in Iraq between 2001 and 2009, and how those developed. The witnesses will be senior officials and military officers who had a key role in developing advice for Ministers and/or implementing government policy. The Inquiry shall begin taking evidence from Ministers themselves in the New Year.
