PR firm behind Tory pandemic response linked to Covid inquiry

Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice group call this a ‘conflict of interest’ in preliminary hearing

The team behind the Covid inquiry has insisted there is no conflict of interest in having a PR firm which worked on Whitehall’s response to the pandemic running a listening exercise with bereaved families.

The Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice group reacted with dismay after their concerns were dismissed, saying they were “unbelievably let down”.
