Thank you for your letter of 1 April
regarding the independent UK Covid-19 Inquiry draft terms of
reference, and for sight of your response to its chair Baroness
Hallett.
I remain committed to the
independent UK Covid-19 Inquiry. In November, in a letter to the
Prime Minister, I said the Welsh Government would take an approach
of candour – we will engage fully and openly with the
inquiry.
You asked whether the inquiry would be able
to publish its own reports. I understand the chair will be
responsible for publishing the inquiry’s reports, including
any interim reports.
