Sir Brian Langstaff’s remarks at the end of the hearings

bloom

The Chair of the Inquiry, Sir Brian Langstaff, has today announced his intention to make a further interim report about the Compensation Framework Study by Sir Robert Francis KC.  

Sir Brian said:

“Many submissions, in writing or orally, asked me to make another interim report about compensation.  I will need to reflect on the submissions - especially those that point out that as little time as possible should be lost before finalising arrangements for compensation.  I want to tell you that I have written to the Paymaster General to inform him of my intention to make a further interim report about the framework for compensation.  I anticipate that I will be in a position to do so before Easter, if not earlier.  We will aim to tell you a week before publication when more precisely it is coming.  The report will be shared with our contact list and published on the Inquiry website.”
