Launch new public inquiry into legality of the invasion of Iraq in 2003

Closed 196 signatures

What the petition asks

A former defence secretary from Sir Tony Blair’s government claims he was told to ‘burn’ a note which set out advice on the legality of the invasion of Iraq in 2003.
We believe it is in the national interest to have a public inquiry as to whether evidence, which could have affected the findings of the Chilcot Report, had been withheld, or tampered with.
