We could and should have stopped people coming from india week before he did at the very least - scientists were telling him to do so. Let's hope its not resistant to vaccines! Boris and mates kept saying that they were following the science. They were, and are, usually implementing what the scientists advise a week or month after they get the advice!

Baron99 Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 (edited) Well you're not going to learn anything soon. The BBC news have said that the conclusion to any enquiry is not to be expected until we'll after the next General Election due to the amount of data / documents that have to be included & the number of people that are expected to be called to give evidence.

You could almost see Keir salivating at the opportunity to use it against the government in the commons today. All thats needed is to collate what we have learned from the NHS, scientists and other countries so whoever is in charge will be able to deal with possible future pandemics more effectively.Much quicker, cheaper and more beneficial than going over emails,texts, statements about decisions that were taken particularly early on which we already now know were wrong.The government has all but said as much. Maybe if people on here can't persuade you about the need for a public inquiry, then have a read of what former minister, and Chair of the Science & Technology Select Committee has to say on the matter: The public inquiry into our Covid response has to capture every aspect – good and bad | The Independent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest makapaka Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 The only purpose of the inquiry will be to exonerate the people who should be held responsible and spread the blame broadly across a number of lower profile people. any subsequent challenges on the decisions made/not made will just be referred back to the inquiry outcome until people get fed up of asking.

I believe that we should have a quick enquiry and an in depth one. We dont know for sure if COVID will be back again, later this year or next. A quick inquiry should be started now, we need to know what works best and where we went wrong. Has there ever been an inquiry that was quick and acted upon, it will be another whitewash.
