MSP seeks more backing to put Blair on trial over Iraq

MARGO MacDonald is poised to introduce a Holyrood Bill in a bid to bring Tony Blair to trial over the Iraq War if she receives the backing of 25 MSPs.

The veteran Independent MSP won the support of former Scottish Government minister Stewart Stevenson yesterday and called on others to endorse her plan for legal action.

She lodged a Holyrood motion last week urging the Scottish Government to change the law in a bid to try the former prime minister over his role in taking Britain into an "aggressive" war with Iraq.
