The Scott Report on sale of arms to Iraq is at the centre of another political row this morning, prior to its publication at 3.30 pm today.

The party’s Foreign Affairs Spokesman, Derek Fatchett, speaking on London Today, says his leader has been treated discourteously by the Government, who have had the report for eight days.
