MPs seek independent inquiry into Iraq war

A fresh attempt to win an independent inquiry into the conduct of the Iraq war will be launched today by a cross-party group of MPs, including Kenneth Clarke, the former chancellor of the exchequer and failed Tory leadership contender.

A Commons motion, signed by MPs from all three main parties plus Welsh and Scottish Nationalists, will be tabled to test the water for the creation of a seven-strong committee of privy councillors to prevent what one MP called "other botched military interventions in Iran or elsewhere". It is hoped to attract MPs from all parties to force action.
