Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether the Prime Minister plans to meet with the Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice to discuss appointing panel members to the UK Covid-19 Inquiry.

Appointments to an inquiry panel are made in accordance with the statutory provisions of the Inquiries Act 2005 and in consultation with the chair. Any representations on the composition of the panel will be duly considered by the Government. Moreover, the inquiry’s terms of reference require it to “listen to and consider carefully the experiences of bereaved families and others who have suffered hardship or loss as a result of the pandemic".
