Bid to keep No10 files secret halts Iraq report:
Cabinet Secretary blocks attempt to declassify 130 conversations between Blair, Bush and Brown
The long-awaited report into how Britain went to war in Iraq has been delayed indefinitely by a row over new transcripts of conversations between Gordon Brown, Tony Blair and George W. Bush.
Inquiry chairman Sir John Chilcot has revealed that he has asked for more than 130 records of conversations between the three men to be declassified.
His demands have been blocked by Cabinet Secretary Sir Jeremy Heywood, Britains most senior civil servant.
