COVID inquiry: Government faces criminal proceedings as deadline looms to hand over Boris Johnson's WhatsApps

[onthedarkside]

 

Criminal proceedings could be taken against the government if they do not hand over unredacted WhatsApp messages sent by Boris Johnson during the COVID inquiry, according to a top barrister.

 

A deadline of 4pm on Tuesday looms for the Cabinet Office to pass the communications - as well as other documents - to inquiry chair Lady Hallett in an unredacted form after she made an order under section 21 of the Inquiries Act 2005.

 

If the Cabinet Office do challenge the order, a legal battle looms between the government and Lady Hallett.

Listening LBC London talk radio station Boris says hand em over so maybe the present govt mob are trying to hide something.

The bizarre thing here is the Government are refusing to handover evidence to the inquiry that they, the Government, established to examine the evidence.

 

Nothing to hide, nothing to fear.
