Seats ballot for Tony Blair's grilling on Iraq war

A public ballot will be held for people wanting seats to watch Tony Blair's appearance before the Iraq Inquiry.

Mr Blair, PM when Britain went to war with Iraq in 2003, will appear at the central London hearing for one day, during the fortnight from 25 January.

Inquiry chairman Sir John Chilcot said there had already been "considerable interest" from people wanting seats.

He said there would be separate ballots for the morning and afternoon sessions of Mr Blair's full-day appearance.

3. That's not very progressive

A very medieval backward looking approach that is and certainly not appropriate for this more enlightened and civilised age, You should use a microwave.

5. Make sure Tony Blair faces tough questions in public on Iraq

Critics of the inquiry into the Iraq war have already said they don't think witnesses are being asking really tough questions. When it comes to Tony Blair, we can't let this happen. Blair made the decision to commit us to a war in Iraq. We deserve to know the real reasons he went ahead.

Please help us hold Tony Blair to account. Send us the questions you want John Chilcot to ask him by filling in the form in the link below.
