Mr Mercer had faced a deadline of Friday to provide information to the inquiry, but has now lodged an appeal. His stance has been branded 'completely unacceptable' by the inquiry chair.
Johnny Mercer is appealing an order which demanded he name the people who told him about alleged murders committed by UK special forces in Afghanistan. Mr Mercer, the veterans minister, is potentially facing time in prison over his decision not to hand over the information to the Independent Inquiry relating to Afghanistan. The former soldier was asked several times by the inquiry chair, Sir Charles Haddon-Cave, to name the people who told him about the alleged killings by UK troops.
'The application will be put before the chair of the inquiry, The right honourable Lord Justice Haddon-Cave for his consideration, and his decision will be given in due course.
