Sir John Chilcot is facing questions from MPs amid criticism of delays to his report into the Iraq war.
A spokeswoman for the Iraq War inquiry has confirmed that Sir John Chilcot received the invitation to appear before the Foreign Affairs Select Committee and was considering his response.
Chairman of the Committee, Sir Richard Ottaway, has written to Sir John asking him to face MPs "at some point in the next two weeks" to explain "what stage preparation of the report has reached and what obstacles remain" before it can be submitted.
Roger Bacon, who lost his son Matthew in 2005 during the Iraq conflict, said he is desperate for answers about why the UK went to war.
Sir John Chilcot will write a letter to the Prime Minister explaining why his inquiry will not be able to report until after the election.
