Prime Minister Gordon Brown has announced in a statement to the Commons that an independent inquiry into the Iraq war will be held, in private, to "learn the lessons" from the episode.
The Conservative leader David Cameron - who backed the invasion - said he was "far from convinced the prime minister has got it right" because the inquiry wasn't being held in public and the terms of reference were "restrictive".
While the Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg - who opposed the war - said: "A secret inquiry conducted by a clutch of grandees hand-picked by the prime minister is not what Britain needs."
