Tony Blair was "reluctant" to hold Cabinet discussions about Iraq because he thought details would be leaked, the UK's top civil servant has said.
Sir Gus O'Donnell told the Iraq Inquiry that Mr Blair did not believe Cabinet was "a safe space" in which to debate the issues involved in going to war.
The number of informal meetings meant records of discussions were not "as complete" as he would like, he added.
Several former mandarins have queried the way Cabinet discussed going to war.
