1
Why did the BBC gamble its hard-won reputation for impartial broadcasting with a war against Downing Street over one sensational story by a controversial journalist?
2
How soon did BBC director-general Greg Dyke and chairman Gavyn Davies know the identity of the source for defence correspondent Andrew Gilligan’s claim an MI6 dossier was “sexed up”.
3
Why did BBC news chief Richard Sambrook claim after Gilligan’s report sparked uproar that it came from a “senior and credible source in the intelligence services”?
4
Why did the BBC reject repeated Downing Street attempts to put the story right?
5
Who leaked Dr Kelly’s name to The Times — before it was confirmed by a senior Ministry of Defence spokeswoman?
6
Was Dr Kelly threatened with action for breaching the Official Secrets Act by talking to Gilligan and was he told his pension was at risk only months before he was due to retire?
7
Did Dr Kelly give one story about his relations with Gilligan to the Foreign Affairs Committee of MPs and another in secret to the Intelligence and Security Committee?
8
Did Gilligan make notes of his conversation with Dr Kelly during their lunch in London on May 22 and will they be subjected to tests?
9
What clues were available on Dr Kelly’s home computer about his state of mind before he took his own life?
10
Why did the BBC not apologise to Dr Kelly’s family for failing to confirm he was their main source when he was still alive and able to defend himself?
