Butler refuses to name scapegoat in Iraq report

WITH clarity of voice and affable manner, Lord Butler of Brockwell delivered his damning verdict on the failings of intelligence over Iraq.

Faced with more than 100 journalists baying for blood, the 66-year-old calmly spoke at length about the findings of the report before taking a volley of questions.

The great and the good of the political media world poured into the elegant Smeaton Room at the Institute of Civil Engineers ready for action.
