Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Home Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb on 2014-03-27.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the statement by Lord Taylor of Holbeach on 6 March (HL Deb, col 1522), whether the proposed judge-led public inquiry into undercover policing will be a statutory one that falls within the Inquiries Act 2005.

Lord Taylor of Holbeach

The judge-led public inquiry into undercover policing will be established under the Inquiries Act 2005.

As I said to the House when I repeated the Home Secretary’s statement on 6 March 2014, Official Report, columns 1518-1526, there is significant further work that needs to take place before the public inquiry can begin its work. That further work will inform the scope of the inquiry and its terms of reference.
