LONDON - Anti-war protesters shouting from the public gallery forced the temporary suspension of Britain's Parliament on Wednesday during the debate over the Hutton Report.

Several protesters had to be dragged out after screaming "Murderer" and "No more whitewashes" at Prime Minister Tony Blair during the debate.

"I somehow feel I am not being entirely persuasive in certain quarters," joked Blair.

The Speaker of the House of Commons suspended debate for 10 minutes while the gallery was cleared.

British lawmakers are debating the long-awaited report by Lord Hutton into the death of weapons inspector David Kelly in July. The report was released last week.
