*UK not to disclose key war report;

On Saturday, senior lawyer Lord Alexander de Weedon said publication of Goldsmith's argument was vital because it had allowed Britain to enter the war along with the United States in March last year.

De Weedon told BBC Radio 4's Today programme Goldsmith's advice was "the most important legal opinion of the last 50 years".

"Without it the war would not have gone ahead and 20,000 Iraqis would not have been killed.

"If there are good reasons it may restore some confidence (in the government)," he said. "If there are bad reasons it is important they should be confirmed."
