(MENAFN- QNA) The official inquiry into the 2003 Iraq War will not publish its long-awaited report before the general election.
BBC said inquiry chairman was expected to confirm in a letter to Prime Minister David Cameron that it would be delayed until after the election on 7 May.
The inquiry began its work in 2009 and held its last public hearing in 2011.
The inquiry has been looking into the reasons for the UK's involvement in the 2003 US-led invasion which toppled Saddam Hussein and the aftermath of the conflict, which saw UK troops remain in Iraq until 2009.
MPs have demanded that the report be published before voters go to the polls in May.
