The UK’s COVID-19 inquiry has given the government an extension to hand over former Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s unredacted WhatsApp messages, diaries, and notebooks. The Cabinet Office claimed it did not have access to the requested data, leading to a short extension granted by the inquiry chair, Lady Hallet. The inquiry seeks to uncover crucial decision-making by the UK government during the pandemic. If the Cabinet Office fails to present the data by the new deadline, the inquiry requests correspondence with Johnson or his office to identify potentially relevant materials. Legal battles may occur if personal information is revealed, and the courts will decide what materials are to be released.
