Downing Street's Iraq weapons dossier caused such deep concern among senior intelligence officers that they formally complained to their superiors, the Hutton inquiry into the death of David Kelly heard yesterday.

Hitherto undisclosed official documents produced at the hearing revealed disquiet within the intelligence community on a number of claims made by No 10, including Saddam Hussein's alleged capacity to launch chemical and biological attacks within 45 minutes.

The opening day of the inquiry also heard that Dr Kelly, described by a No 10 spokesman as a "Walter Mitty" fantasist, was one of the country's foremost experts on biological warfare, and someone who had access to intelligence at the highest level.

The inquiry, set up to investigate the apparent suicide of Dr Kelly after he was named as the main source of a report by the BBC journalist Andrew Gilligan that No 10 had interfered with the Iraq dossier, heard evidence from five witnesses, and trawled through dozens of pieces of documentation yesterday.

Mind you, it's either that or grumbling about the heat. I feel like a right sweaty Betty at the moment. Anyone got an ice cream I can borrow?
