Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what the timetable is for the conclusion of the Infected Blood Inquiry.

The timetable for the Infected Blood Inquiry is a matter for the Chair of the independent statutory Inquiry, Sir Brian Langstaff. Sir Brian has publicly recognised the need to achieve a proper balance between speed and the need for thoroughness, and has made clear that the Inquiry will complete its work as quickly as a thorough examination of the facts allows.
