Open to the public. Diaries from press officers, the lot. Accusations of
abuse of power, and a specific criticism of the statement: WMD (weapons of
mass destruction) being able to be deployed within 45 minutes...where it was
discovered that WMD was a very loose term also including standard artillery.
(Correct me if I'm wrong here).
That statement was critical in swaying parliament to support the war in
Iraq.
Ironically the BBC site is quite good (it was one of the major players in
the enquiry)

thanks, I will take a look. I do remember David Kelly, but have never
heard
of the Hutton inquiry, which is probably a commentary on news quality in
my
part of the world as I do read the newspaper. I suppose Hutton is the guy
chairing it?
