FAMILIES of Covid-19 victims warned that the “devil will be in the detail” of an independent public inquiry into the handling of the pandemic announced by the Prime Minister today.
Boris Johnson told MPs that the inquiry will begin in spring next year and will place “the state’s actions under the microscope,” but campaigners criticised the delay.
Bereaved Families for Justice group co-founder Jo Goodman, who lost her father Stuart, said it was a “huge relief” that the PM had heard their calls.
