The Independent on Sunday said it had obtained the text of the motion from a cross-party group of MPs, adding it would be offered for debate soon after the new parliamentary session begins later this month.
The motion calls for a select committee to investigate the ”conduct of the PM in relation to the war in Iraq,” the daily said.
The committee would draw up the “articles of impeachment” and a panel of law lords would judge whether Blair deliberately misled the nation into waging an unlawful war, it said.
A guilty verdict would see Blair arrested by parliament’s Sergeant at Arms.
