Lord Hutton opened the inquiry today, 1 August. He made a statement
detailing how he would proceed generally, the sequence of events leading
up to the inquiry and the detailed agenda of witness hearing. The main
points are:

1. He and he alone will determine the way the inquiry is conducted,
citing Lord Scarman's words in the 1974 Red lion disturbances inquiry.

2. He will hold public hearings except where national security prevents
it.

3. A transcript of the public hearings will be available to the
public.

4. The public hearings will be televised.

5. He will allow cross-examination where Lord Hutton deems it
necessary.

6. Those called before the committee will be allowed to use legal
representation.

7. Lord Hutton will call, amongst others, Blair, Campbell, Hoon, MoD
civil servants and Dr Kelly's widow to give evidence.

8. Lord Hutton has the post-mortem report compiled by a Dr Hunt. This
suggests death was due to bleeding. However, it also revealed that Kelly
had serious coronary disease and this may have contributed to the speed
of his death. Intriguingly, Kelly had four electrode pads such as are
used for ECGs on his chest.

9. Dr Kelly's wrist was described as having several cuts and the watch
had been taken after bleeding had begun. Dr Hunt, rather oddly, took
this as an indication that it was suicide.

10. Lord Hutton will call both medical evidence on Dr Kelly's physical
state and psychiatric advice as to what his state of mind might have
been.

11. Lord Hutton will seek details of what religious tenets the Baha'i
faith might have which could have affected Dr Kelly's attitude to death.

12. Lord Hutton will consider submissions from anyone who thinks they
have useful information to give. RH

I hope the inquiry turns out to be very embarrassing for Liar Bliar.

I wonder how long before the requests for cabinet ministers to answer
questions in private arrive because of national security???

phil

will you be attending the public sessions Robert ?

phil

It would be most interesting to test whether they really are 'public'
sessions and if you can indeed gain access..

steve day

Could they be used to apply sufficient amperage to stop a heart if connected
to a defibrilator???? maliciously???????

blue

If you're going to be attacked by a defibrillator you'd
probably want a lot of rubber plasters on you.

I have ECGs performed regularly. Occasionally the technician will forget
to remove an odd pad but it is pretty rare. Moreover, if they do forget
it is very obvious that they have done so. RH

I understand that they also held a minute's silence at the beginning in
memory of David Kelly. It's nice to see someone actually remember
amongst all of the speculation and political point scoring (I don't
absolve myself in this) that this is about the death of an innocent man.

Yes as even a vulture would need time to digest.
I suppose you will skip the more relavent BBC dragging over the coals.
If it wern't for them none of this unpatriotic drivel would have ever
happened.
How long will the torys last without American support I wonder.. ?
