PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Public Inquiries: Coronavirus (20 July 2020)

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, pursuant to the Prime Minister's oral contribution of 15 July 2020, Official Report, col. 1514, whether he plans to bring forward proposals for the independent inquiry on the Government's response to the covid-19 outbreak before the House rises for Summer Adjournment.

Asked by:
Ed Davey (Liberal Democrat)

The Government has always been clear that there will be opportunities to look back, analyse and reflect on all aspects of COVID-19. As the Prime Minister has said, this will include an independent inquiry at the appropriate time. For now the Government is focused entirely on responding to the pandemic and saving lives. Further details will be set out in due course and announced in the usual way.
