The Cabinet Office has defended its record during the pandemic, claiming it still “got some big decisions right at a very early stage” as the Covid inquiry concludes the part of its second module focussed on political decision-making in England.
Giving a closing statement at the inquiry today, counsel representing the Cabinet Office, Anna Studd, said: “It is clear from the evidence prepared for this module that the government got some big decisions right at a very early stage.”
It also refuted the accusation that “it was not taking the virus seriously from an early stage”.
