Chilcot Iraq inquiry: MPs demand explanation for four year delay

Chilcot inquiry: MPs demand explanation for four year delay of report on Iraq war - Telegraph:

"Sir John Chilcot's report is now four years overdue, said Bernard Jenkin, chairman of the House of Commons Public Administration Committee.
The Chilcot inquiry completed public hearings in 2011, but publication of its report has been held back by negotiations over the publication of private communications between Tony Blair, prime minister at the time of the 2003 conflict, and then US president George Bush.
Mr Jenkin has now written to the Cabinet Office demanding an explanation.
He said he is prepared to summon ministers and Sir Jeremy Heywood, the Cabinet Secretary, for questioning."
