Upcoming Hearings
Update on the Inquiry's Waverley Gate Hearings VenueThe Scottish Government, as tenants of the premises, has informed the Inquiry that “It has now been confirmed that the lease agreement has been finalised and the required retrospective building warrant is now in effect. The hearing suite therefore fully complies with the appropriate building regulations, which set the necessary safety standards.” Based on this update the Inquiry intends to hold full, in-person hearings as planned in September at the hearing suite in Waverley Gate. The Inquiry’s September hearings begin on Tuesday 8th September and will run for four weeks until Friday 2nd October. The witness timetable has been published and registration for seats in the public gallery is now open. |
Anyone who wishes to request a seat in the public gallery during hearings must register to attend.
Only members of the public allocated a seat by the Inquiry will be able to attend. Seats will be confirmed two weeks in advance for each week.
Please note, the registration process for Section 1 hearings has now closed.
Requests to attend from journalists, corporate core participants, legal representatives and witnesses will be dealt with separately.
Proceedings will also be live-streamed.
The witness timetable for Section 1 sets out who will be giving oral evidence to the Inquiry, and when.
