Britain to unveil Iraq inquiry this week: reports
The move is expected to be confirmed in a statement to parliament
It will probably come as early as Tuesday, the Observer said.

The inquiry will likely examine the circumstances leading up to Britain's decision under Brown's predecessor Tony Blair to join the US-led invasion in March 2003, and its aftermath.

The government now faces controversy over whether or not the probe will be held in private, as Miliband has indicated.

Opposition politicians and relatives of British soldiers killed in Iraq are urging full transparency.

the probe would be seen as a sham unless those conducting it were given full access to all documents, could subpoena witnesses and look back to at least a year before the war began.

"If he (Prime Minister Gordon Brown) holds it all or partly in secret and kicks the eventual report into the long grass, it will be a betrayal of all those families who lost children serving in Iraq," Clegg told the Observer.
