The inquiry is expected to shed light on the circumstances under which former prime minister Tony Blair decided to join the US-led invasion - which according to former US administration officials was based on unfounded intelligence.
Initially the then US secretary of defense Donald Rumsfeld claimed that former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein was in possession of weapons of mass destruction (WMD), but after the invasion, no trace of such armament could be found.
The government now faces controversy over whether or not the probe should be held in secret.
