Dr John Gee, an Australian member of the Iraq Survey Group, and head of chemical and biological weapons disarmament in the Department of Foreign Affairs, who resigned over concerns the March 2004 report from the survey group had been doctored to play down the absence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, did not appear at the inquiry. He said his employment with the Defence Department limited what he could say.
