Blair "Will Not Hide" from Hutton

World | January 11, 2004, Sunday // 00:00

Tony Blair insists he has no intention of "hiding away" from the Hutton report into the death of Dr David Kelly. He told BBC he would make a statement to MPs within hours of the report's publication. But he said no decision had been made on whether he would take part in the lengthier debate on it a week later. Tory leader Michael Howard says it would be "inconceivable" for Blair not to lead the full debate in the House of Commons. Lord Hutton's report into the death of the government weapons expert is expected to be published within the next few weeks. Dr Kelly was found dead, after apparently committing suicide, shortly after being named as the person the government believed was the source for a BBC report claiming a dossier on Iraq's illegal weapons had been "sexed up" by Downing Street.
