The British Prime Minister Gordon Brown will be called to give evidence to the Iraq Inquiry before the general election. The Prime Minister had been due to appear before Sir John Chilcot's inquiry after the election due by June. Mr Brown was chancellor at the time of the 2003 invasion and has said he will be happy to appear whenever called. At Prime Minister's questions on Wednesday, Mr Brown told MPs that he had written to Sir John saying he was happy to appear at any time before the committee but it was up to the independent panel to decide.
