Boris Johnson arrives at Covid Inquiry 3 hours early
Boris Johnson believes the Covid inquiry should urgently examine the harms caused by lockdown, The Telegraph understands.
The former prime minister, set to appear before the inquiry on Wednesday and Thursday, has told allies he thinks it is legitimate to ask whether the right questions are being addressed.
In particular, Mr Johnson, who was prime minister through the pandemic, is concerned that the impact of lockdown on the economy and children’s education has not been adequately examined.
He would also like the inquiry to consider whether the virus was man-made – a question raised by Michael Gove during his appearance at the inquiry last week. Mr Gove was told this issue was outside the scope of the inquiry.
