...........Should be interesting;
Vallance , Whitty, and Van Tam to give all day evidence
Patrick Vallance, the government’s former chief scientific adviser – whose incendiary private diary entries are being quoted selectively at the inquiry – will give evidence at an all-day session on Monday that looks certain to cast new light on the chaos in government as the virus swept across the globe.
Vallance will be followed in the witness box by the other top scientists who flanked ministers at the televised daily Covid press conferences.
Prof Chris Whitty, the chief medical officer for England, will make an all-day appearance on Tuesday. Then on Wednesday, Prof Jonathan Van-Tam, the former deputy chief medical officer, and the current chief scientific adviser, Prof Dame Angela McLean – who described the-then chancellor Rishi Sunak as “Dr Death” in the weeks following the Treasury- inspired “eat out to help out” scheme in August 2020 – will appear before the inquiry.
