General Sir Michael Rose, who is supporting the families of servicemen and women killed and injured in Iraq, said they "will take action" if there is evidence of a "dereliction of duty" after the Chilcot inquiry is published.

Sir Michael said the families have recruited the law firm which took the Omagh bombers to civil court which "bankrupted them for life" after the criminal case had failed.

"If there is evidence of dereliction of duty they will do the same thing to those concerned," he continued.

General Sir Michael Rose previously commanded British forces in Bosnia.
