Veterans minister Johnny Mercer testified about hearing 'horrific' accounts of SAS war crimes from former Afghan commandos.
The inquiry investigates allegations of SAS killing unarmed detainees and children during night raids in Afghanistan between 2010 and 2013.
Mercer expressed anger at senior defense officials for misleading him and failing to investigate the allegations properly.
The inquiry chairman warned Mercer of 'serious legal consequences' for refusing to disclose names of officers who informed him of the allegations.
Mercer's refusal to name officers has been criticized as obstructing the inquiry and the pursuit of truth.
