The Document Database presents all documents released by the UCPI, plus a Library of background material - the latest documents first.
The Inquiry documents can be filtered by date, tranche, spycop, group and more, and searched by keyword. For ease of navigation they are in three separate databases:
Disclosure is where you will find all files released by the Inquiry as part of its investigations. This includes the contemporaneous reports of spycops, managerial correspondence and notes of meetings with MI5.
Statements and Transcripts has all witness statements, and opening and closing statements, as well as the transcripts of the hearings.
Procedural includes all documents from the start of the Inquiry in 2015 until the hearings began in 2020.
The Library is a collection of background material to the spycops scandal - essentially relevant reading sourced outside the Inquiry, including the various early reviews.
The filtering fields follow the material: date, author, type, originator/publisher.
