Father of British soldier killed in Iraq: We cannot wait for other little memos

Gwynedd soldier's father says Chilcot report delay 'farcical'

The father of a Gwynedd soldier killed in Iraq said he is "extremely frustrated by the continued delay" of the Chilcot Inquiry report.

L/Cpl Thomas Richard Keys, 20, of Llanuwchllyn, near Bala, died in 2003.

His father, Reg Keys, said the delay had "become almost unlawful" and called for publication, saying soldiers' families need closure

"This is not just months overdue, it's years overdue. Information will keep bubbling to the surface for years to come. We cannot wait for other little memos to keep coming up here and there," he added.

A little Downing Street memo here, a little Powell-Bush memo there...

I wonder if they ever even finished that thing? Bush and Blair have a lot to answer for.
