After more than six years of work and a succession of embarrassing delays, a report on Britain‘s role in the Iraq war is finally taking shape and is likely to be published in June or July, its lead author said on Thursday. Expected to run to two million words, the document should be complete by April 2016, but it will then need to be vetted by national security agencies, John Chilcot, a former senior civil servant who is leading the inquiry, said in a statement.
Prime Minister David Cameron, who has previously expressed frustration, said in a letter issued by his office on Thursday that he would make available additional resources if it would speed up publication, though he did not specify any figure.
