Former Prime Minister Tony Blair is to be called to give evidence to the Iraq War inquiry early next year.

He will be among senior Labour figures to be publicly grilled just months ahead of an expected general election.

Mr Blair and the others may be quizzed again in more detail, but that will not happen until after the election, which must take place by June.

Inquiry chairman Sir John Chilcot has said his report will be published at the end of next year, or even 2011.

In a statement, Sir John said the first five weeks of public evidence sessions, which will begin on 24 November, will hear from senior officials and military officers.

"We will ask them to explain the main decisions and tasks, and their involvement," he said.

"That will give us a clear understanding of how policy developed and was implemented, and what consideration was given to alternative approaches."
