Key documents relating to the long-awaited Covid inquiry could be shredded, MPs fear, as Boris Johnson has been "dragging his heels" over the investigation.
The inquiry into the Government's handling of the Covid pandemic will be chaired by the retired judge Lady Hallett, with the terms of reference set to include the closure of schools through to shielding.
On Tuesday, MPs heard officials had "no duty" to preserve documents that could be imperative to the investigation, with some even suggesting documentation could already be “going missing”.
