Hutton Inquiry

The Hutton Inquiry was a British government investigation conducted in 2003 to examine the circumstances surrounding the death of Dr. David Kelly, a scientist and government adviser. Kelly had been involved in preparing a report criticizing the Iraq War's justification, and his death was initially considered a suicide. The inquiry aimed to determine if the government misrepresented information about Kelly or his death. Its findings confirmed Kelly’s death was a suicide and criticized the government and media for their handling of the situation, highlighting issues of transparency and accountability in government communication.
