If it has not been completed by 11 January 2004 he will complete his work on the report after his retirement.<br /><br />Lord Hutton had informed the Senior Law Lord, Lord Bingham, of his intention to retire a number of months before he was appointed to conduct the Inquiry into Dr Kelly's death."<br /><br />Lord Falconer of course should have been aware at the time Lord Hutton was asked to chair the Inquiry that the real possibility existed that the Inquiry wouldn't be completed prior to Lord Hutton's retirement date.<br /><br />This "there's no problem" press release takes my breath away.brian in the tamar valleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13475701925894027724noreply@blogger.com
