How much will the Inquiry cost and who is paying?
It is too soon to provide an estimate of the cost of the Inquiry. The cost will depend on the number of witnesses, the length of the Inquiry and the nature of the evidence revealed. Sir William will consider the cost to public funds in his conduct of the Inquiry, subject to the overriding principle of fairness to all parties. The Inquiry is funded through the Ministry of Defence and we will be publishing expenditure on a regular basis on the Inquiry’s website.
