The Covid inquiry has agreed to not show the diaries of Patrick Vallance in full during a legal bid to decide whether doing so breaches his human rights.
Lawyers representing the former chief scientific adviser requested this week that the inquiry not show complete diary pages, despite the fact they have already been deemed relevant evidence to the ongoing second module, which explores political decision-making.
Parts of his diaries have already been shown in the inquiry. One entry showed the former CMO calling Boris Johnson, “... all over the place and so completely inconsistent”.
