It made time for a two day debate in the House of Commons and a day long debate in the House of Lords before the Summer recess to enable Parliament to study and debate the report in depth. It has committed to learning the lessons which Sir John identifies from his Inquiry. How Parliament decides to hold Mr Blair to account is a matter for Parliament.
