answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/07/2014 answer text <p>I have recently responded to two debates on the Chilcot Inquiry in my Ministerial capacity. In the course of both, I drew a comparison between the Chilcot Inquiry and the Franks Inquiry, simply to note the information available to the Chairmen of those Inquiries, the significant difference in their scope, including the giving of evidence in public. Both are important Inquiries for the public record, establishing events and learning any lessons. In addition, I offered a personal reflection on the Franks Inquiry [based on my previous work in this area].</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Wallace of Saltaire question first answered 16/07/2014 16:54:36 answering member 1816 label Biography information for Lord Wallace of Saltaire
