Timetable

The table below outlines the date of hearing, the witnesses scheduled and the transcription available.
Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4


How to access Written Statements by each witness

All witnesses who give oral evidence to the Inquiry will already have submitted written statements.
While it had been the intention of the Inquiry to make written statements available on the website 72 hours in advance of the the witness giving their oral evidence, it has not been practicable to treat all written statements in this way.
The Inquiry will now make written statements available on the website 24 hours in advance of the witness giving oral evidence.  Statements can then be accessed by selecting the name of the witness within the Inquiry timetable.

How to access Written Transcripts of Oral Hearings

A verbatim transcript of the oral hearings will be made available on the web within 3 days of the hearing.  To view the transcript for each day, select the relevant link in the last column of the timetable.
