The Scottish Covid-19 Inquiry will begin on Tuesday, as a leading lawyer called for witnesses to speak with “absolute candour” in order to learn “vital lessons”.
It will investigate the response by the Scottish Government to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The first phase of hearings will look at the health and social care impacts of the pandemic while later phases will look at education and young people, business and financial and welfare support.
