Tory leader attacks Blair over Kelly

Tory leader Iain Duncan Smith accused British Prime Minister Tony Blair and Downing Street today of presiding over “underhand” and “shameful” treatment of weapons expert David Kelly – both before and after his apparent suicide.

Mr Duncan Smith, commenting after Mr Blair gave his evidence to the Hutton Inquiry, said: “The Prime Minister knew about, and was satisfied with, the underhand treatment of Dr Kelly and the systematic attempt to destroy his reputation both before and after his death.
