Iraq inquiry chief 'frustrated' by war advice secrecy

Iraq inquiry chairman Sir John Chilcot has said he shares ex-Attorney General Lord Goldsmith's "frustration" at key documents not being declassified.

Lord Goldsmith, giving evidence on his advice about the war's legality, said he did not agree with the decision to ban some documents from being published.

Sir John added: "Can I just say that the frustration is shared."

The documents, which the inquiry can see but not publish, are understood to relate to the legal basis for the war.
