PRIME Minister David Cameron has told the chairman of the Iraq war inquiry that he is “fast losing patience” with the delay in its completion.

More than six years after being established in 2009, John Chilcot said the inquiry may not be concluded for another year.

Letters released yesterday show Mr Cameron’s “disappointment” in the timetable and told the chairman to publish his report as soon as possible.

Chancellor George Osborne also called on Chilcot to “get on with it” at Prime Minister’s Questions.

But in a question over the delay, SNP Westminster leader Angus Robertson pointed out both Mr Cameron and Mr Osborne had voted for the Iraq war.

Speaking afterwards, he added: “I asked the Chancellor if he felt a moral and political responsibility for getting to the bottom of this calamitous war and its consequences.

“Answers are long overdue, and the continued delays to the publication of this report are a democratic outrage.”
