The Chilcot Report is being funded by public money.
This petition requests that the Prime Minister, to whom Chilcot is accountable, establishes whether Chilcot, including members of his committee, has/have received monies for time that they have not actually been gainfully working in pursuit of delivering the report.
It also requests that a full public declaration of timesheets and and/or other evidence be made which can support the funds that they have claimed/received to date.
