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.
