Dodgy Dossier: Can We See the Precursor Please?



There is a widely supported EDM tabled by Tory backbencher John Baron and named:
MR JOHN WILLIAMS' DRAFT DOSSIER ON IRAQ'S WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION.

The story is relayed at Chris Ames' Iraq Dossier site which has a 'live' front page as well as blog, links and so on. And there is a Number 10 Petition HERE. This is potentially an incendiary send off for Tony Blair and his Iraq Legacy. Perhaps part of some line drawing for Gordon? Or was it dealt with back in November 2006? *

Hat tip: Iain Dale's Diary which carries a PA report of a Westminster Hall debate of this morning. Will link to Hansard anon.

* Iain may be interested to take a quick look at John Williams' (right) own account of the circumstances including his view that he had expected the draft to be available on the Hutton site along with Campbell's reference to Williams' work. But he says that as a civil servant at the time, he has to respect FCO decision in face of Chris Ames' FoIA request. HERE.

Steve Bell and other Guardian cartoon tees here.
