LONDON, Nov. 5 (UPI) -- Some members of Britain's Parliament are pushing for an investigation into Prime Minister Tony Blair's conduct in the run-up to the Iraq War.
A coalition of Labor and Tory members intends to bring up a motion to set up a committee to examine "the conduct of ministers" both before and after the war, the Times of London reported. The committee would have the power to see all sensitive documents and call any British witnesses, including top intelligence officials.
Planning for the aftermath of the March 2003 invasion is likely to be at the heart of the committee's investigation, said Tory MP Douglass Hogg -- one of the organizers of the plan to launch an inquiry.
The coalition has support for the plan from the Liberal Democrats and the Scottish and Welsh Nationalists, the newspaper reported.
Sir Menzies Campbell, a spokesman for the Liberal Democrats, said his party had not supported earlier attempts to impeach Blair, but supports a parliamentary inquiry.
The inquiry would also examine the conduct of Foreign Secretary Jack Straw, then-defense secretary Geoff Hoon, and Lord Goldsmith, the attorney-general, the Times reported.
