LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM - JULY 6: Former Prime Minister, Tony Blair speaks during a press conference at Admiralty House, where responding to the Chilcot report he said: "I express more sorrow, regret and apology than you may ever know or can believe on July 6, 2016. in London, United Kingdom. The Iraq Inquiry Report into the UK government's involvement in the 2003 Iraq War under the leadership of Tony Blair was published today. The inquiry, which concluded in February 2011, was announced by then Prime Minister Gordon Brown in 2009 and is published more than seven years later. Mr Blair said that the report contained "serious criticisms" but showed that "there were no lies, Parliament and the Cabinet were not misled, there was no secret commitment to war, intelligence was not falsified and the decision was made in good faith".
