A team of Greenpeace climbers has scaled Big Ben and held a banner, reading 'TIME FOR THE TRUTH' beneath the clock face.

Free-climbing using specialist equipment that ensured there was no damage to the structure, it took one hour for the Greenpeace team to reach the famous clock face.

Speaking from Parliament Square, Greenpeace Executive Director Stephen Tindale said,

Judge also denies permission to call Elizabeth Wilmhurst

Lawyers for the Attorney General today succeeded in keeping his full advice on the legality of the war secret.

Greenpeace had this morning sought a witness summons forcing the government to reveal the full advice. Greenpeace says the advice is vital to the defence of 14 of its volunteers, who face charges relating to the occupation of tanks at Marchwood military base in the run up to the war.

Tony Blair's legal case for war will come under scrutiny on Tuesday when fourteen Greenpeace activists appear in court in Southampton. They face charges relating to the occupation of tanks in February 2003 at the Marchwood military port in Southampton, from where hardware and supplies were being sent to Iraq. The occupation was part of a week of actions at Marchwood aimed at stopping the build up to war (1).
