Key questions for Hutton
Here is a guide to the key questions to watch out for when Lord Hutton delivers his report on the circumstances around the death of weapons expert Dr David Kelly on Wednesday.
THE PREPARATION OF THE IRAQ WEAPONS DOSSIER
Who was responsible for drafting the dossier? The inquiry heard the Joint Intelligence Committee took ownership of the document but questions were raised about why Downing Street media chief Alastair Campbell chaired some of the meetings.
Were the prime minister, Mr Campbell and others in Number 10 responsible for intelligence being set out in the dossier which was incorrect or misleading or which was given improper emphasis? This especially centres around the claim that Iraq could deploy weapons of mass destruction within 45 minutes of an order.
What was Dr Kelly's role in preparing the dossier and was he in a position to know what was happening inside Number 10?
ANDREW GILLIGAN'S REPORT
What was said by Dr Kelly to BBC reporter Andrew Gilligan on 22 May 2003? Mr Gilligan says he was told the intelligence dossier was "sexed up" in the week before publication as a result at the behest of Downing Street.
Did Mr Gilligan accurately report what was said by Dr Kelly to him in his broadcast on 29 May and in the Mail on Sunday newspaper on 1 June?
Was what Mr Gilligan reported true? He has admitted making "slips of the tongue" in live broadcasts when he said the government knew the 45 minutes claim was probably wrong even before it put it in the dossier.
Was the Ministry of Defence told about the story before its broadcast? During the inquiry, the BBC conceded Downing Street should have been given the chance to comment before the claims were aired, but Mr Gilligan insisted he had put the claims to the MoD.
THE ROW BETWEEN THE GOVERNMENT AND THE BBC
How fair were the government's complaints about the BBC story and how much did they raise the temperature of the row?
How well did the BBC react to those complaints? The corporation has been criticised for defending Mr Gilligan's story without properly checking notes of his conversation with Dr Kelly.
THE TREATMENT OF DR KELLY
How did the Ministry of Defence and the government handle the scientist once he admitted meeting Mr Gilligan?
Who decided to release a press release saying an unnamed official was suspected as the BBC's source and did this and briefings by MoD press officers give clues about Dr Kelly's identity?
Who decided to confirm Dr Kelly's name to journalists and was this fair on the scientist?
Was Dr Kelly aware his identity was likely to become public, did he agree to that process and was he given enough help as he became the focus of the media spotlight?
Was it right to put up the weapons expert for public questioning by the Commons foreign affairs committee and in private by the intelligence and security committee?
Did the prime minister tell the truth when he told journalists he had not authorised the leaking of Dr Kelly's name? Lord Hutton may decide this question is outside the scope of his inquiry.
Did the government try in its dealings with the media to down play Dr Kelly's importance as a civil servant and his role in the production of the dossier? And did this reflect reality or was it just designed to help in the row with the BBC?
DR KELLY'S DEATH
How did Dr Kelly die and was it clearly by his own hand?
If Dr Kelly killed himself, what were the things likely to have led him to commit suicide?
