Judge to decide scope of Kelly inquiry
The judge heading the inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the death of Iraq arms expert Dr David Kelly says it will be for him alone to decide the scope of the investigation.
Lord Hutton also said he intended to carry out the inquiry "urgently" and to conduct most of it in public.
Dr Kelly's body was found in woodland near his home in Oxfordshire on Friday. An inquest was opened and adjourned on Monday during which the coroner said the cause of death was "a haemorrhage due to an incision to his left wrist".
Lord Hutton's statement comes as pressure mounts on the BBC following its confirmation that Dr Kelly was the principal source for its story claiming Downing Street had "sexed up" an Iraq weapons dossier.
Lord Hutton said the government had stated "it will provide me with the fullest cooperation" and expects all other authorities and parties to do the same.
