Dyke said he hoped their departures meant "a line can be drawn under this whole episode."

Lord Hutton's report has cleared the Tony Blair government of "sexing up" its Iraq weapons dossier with unreliable intelligence.

BBC correspondent Andrew Gilligan in a controversial report had said the BBC was aware before going into war with Iraq that there were no weapons of mass destruction in possession of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.
