Baroness Anderson of Stoke-on-Trent (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 19 January 2026

Debate

Public Inquiries: Costs

Contribution

I thank the noble Baroness for the work she has done in this space: it was an excellent report that is feeding into the Government’s thinking about next steps. She may be aware that the PACAC in the other place currently has a call for evidence. I urge all Members to contribute on how we should do this. But, obviously, how we scrutinise the Government is a matter for Parliament. Having said that, we do appreciate that more scrutiny is required.
