Britain to hold inquiry into Iraq war after pull-out

March 26, 2009 05:48am

A FULL inquiry into the war in Iraq will be launched soon after British troops pull out later this year, Foreign Secretary David Miliband said today.

Mr Miliband confirmed in the House of Commons that a probe would be set up as soon as it was feasible.

Britain's 4100 troops in Iraq are due to complete their mission by May 31, with the pullout set to be completed by July 31. Some 400 troops are due to remain in a non-combat role, largely naval training.

During a debate on a full independent inquiry, Conservative opposition politician Edward Leigh said: "So he can give a commitment, then, can he, that we will set up this inquiry, as soon as practicable after the 31 of July?"

Mr Miliband replied simply: "Yes."

1. I question how "full" full will be.

After recent enquiries and with a General Election looming I doubt very.
