Asked if the Prime Minister had been in direct communication with Tony Blair about the Iraq inquiry, the PMS said that we consulted a number of people ahead of our announcement and the Prime Minister took full responsibility for the announcements that the Government made.

Asked if Tony Blair had initiated contact with the Prime Minister about the Iraq inquiry, the PMS said that we had had a number of consultations ahead of the announcement but we would not get into specifics.

Asked who the Prime Minister had consulted in the army about the Iraq inquiry, the PMS said that the Chief of Defence Staff was fully consulted and agreed to the announcement that we made last Monday.
