PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Covid-19 Inquiry: Costs (15 October 2024)

Question Asked

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what steps he is taking to reduce the costs associated with the covid-19 inquiry.

Asked by:
Rupert Lowe (Reform UK)

Answer

It is important that lessons are learnt from the Covid-19 pandemic and the response to it. The UK Covid-19 Inquiry is independent of government and it is right that we allow the Chair to continue her important work. The Chair is under a statutory obligation to avoid unnecessary costs in the Inquiry’s work, and she has been clear in her intention to complete her work as quickly and efficiently as possible.
