Consultation description

This consultation seeks views on the future structure, scope and format of the Undercover Policing Inquiry. This does not cover tranches 1, 2 and 3 (Special Demonstration Squad, 1968–2007) which will have been concluded upon Sir John’s retirement.

This consultation is not a re-opening of evidence, nor a call for new factual material about undercover policing or individual cases. Respondents are invited to focus on how the Inquiry’s remaining objectives could best be achieved.
