About the event:

Presentation by the Rt Hon Lord Butler of Brockwell KG GCB CVO PC, Master of University College, Oxford and former Secretary of the Cabinet and Head of the Home Civil Service.

In February 2004, it was announced that Lord Butler would chair an inquiry into the use of intelligence in the lead up to the 2003 Iraq War. His report, widely known as the 'Butler Report', concluded that some of the intelligence about Iraq's possession of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) was seriously flawed.

Lord Butler will examine the reasons why the UK intelligence community seem to have reached wrong conclusions about Iraq's possession of WMD and the lessons that can be learned for the future.

A sandwich lunch will be served from 1215.
