'Review is obstruction'
The Herald|June 08, 2023
MINISTERS have been accused of spending taxpayers’ money on “loophole lawyers” in an attempt to block the Covid inquiry from being handed Boris Johnson’s unredacted WhatsApp messages.
'Review is obstruction'

Labour deputy leader Angela Rayner said the Government was “obstructing the Covid inquiry” after announcing a judicial review and questioned whether voters would consider the decision a good use of public money.

The Cabinet Office has announced a High Court challenge of UK Covid-19 Inquiry chairwoman Baroness Hallett’s request for the wholesale handover of former prime minister Mr Johnson’s WhatsApp correspondence and notebooks from the pandemic.

The Cabinet Office says some of the information requested by the inquiry does not relate to the Government’s handling of coronavirus and is “unambiguously irrelevant”.
