Covid-19 Inquiry: Legal Costs

Written Question House of Lords
Lord Jackson of Peterborough · Conservative Answering body: Cabinet Office
Parliamentary excerpt

To ask His Majesty's Government what legal costs they have incurred to date as a result of their decision to seek a judicial review on the application of the Inquiries Act 2005 to the Covid-19 Inquiry.

Government answer

Answering body: Cabinet Office

We do not yet have a figure for the costs incurred. We brought this judicial review to seek clarification on a point of law and we are pleased that the Court agreed that there was an important legal question to consider.

It acknowledged our concerns over respecting the privacy of individuals and ensuring that completely irrelevant information is returned and not retained.
