Covid inquiry court ruling: Victory for transparency and humiliating defeat for Sunak
14 Jul 2023
EMBARGO: For Immediate Release
Responding to the news the government has lost its legal challenge over handing unredacted messages to the Covid inquiry, Liberal Democrat Cabinet Office Spokesperson Christine Jardine MP commented:
“This is a victory for transparency and a humiliating defeat for this Conservative government.
“Rishi Sunak should have never wasted taxpayers’ money trying to dodge scrutiny and hide the truth.
“The government must now agree to comply fully with the Covid inquiry’s requests. Bereaved families deserve better than this endless game of smoke and mirrors.”
