PM faces rebellion over war inquiry
Updated on 24 June 2009

Prime Minister Gordon Brown last week abandoned plans for a behind-closed-doors probe after they were met with scorn by a stream of senior political and military figures.
Inquiry chairman Sir John Chilcot has said he believes it is "essential" that proceedings are open wherever possible and is examining demands for witnesses to be put under some form of oath.
