BBC NEWS | UK | UK Politics | No 10 warning ahead of Iraq vote: "Downing Street has warned of 'very real consequences' for British troops in Iraq if MPs defeat the government over calls for an inquiry into the war.

The Commons will debate a Scottish National Party and Plaid Cymru call for a probe now into the war and aftermath, backed by Lib Dems and Labour rebels.

The Tories say they may also support it if ministers do not agree to hold a broader inquiry once troops leave.

No 10 says an inquiry now would be seen by the enemy as a sign of weakness.

Ministers had said that the Hutton Inquiry, into the death of government adviser David Kelly, and the Butler Inquiry into the pre-war intelligence were enough."
