The much-delayed report into the Iraq War will be published on Wednesday July 6, an inquiry spokesman has said.

Sir John Chilcot has come under fire for delays in producing his report, including a rebuke from the Prime Minister and victims' families.

The inquiry heard 130 sessions of witness evidence and received more than 150,000 documents.

The report's publication has been delayed by a process called "Maxwellisation", under which those who may face criticism - believed to include former prime minister Tony Blair - are given the opportunity to respond before publication.
