1. With reports in the press last month that the ‘UK Covid inquiry bill [is] already at £85 m as government hires top law firms’, a figure arrived at before the public hearings have even commenced, the cost and proper scope of the legal profession’s involvement in what is expected to be the widest-ranging and longest-running statutory inquiry in UK legal history rightly continues to be the source of anxious scrutiny by the media and wider public.
