SUMMARY:Undercover Policing Inquiry\, opening statements
DESCRIPTION:The Undercover Policing Inquiry begins in November 2019. The first hearings will cover events from the formation of the Special Demonstration Squad in 1968 until 1972. \nThe first seven days (2\, 3\, 4\, 5\, 6\, 9 & 10 November) will hear opening statements from involved parties. These will be livestreamed\, presumably from the Inquiry’s evidence and hearings page\, and possibly on their YouTube channel. \nAfter this\, the Inquiry will be hearing evidence from witnesses. These hearings will not be livestreamed\, but there will be a live transcript with a ten minute delay. \nCOPS will be live tweeting the hearings (using the hashtag #SpyCopsInquiry)\, and providing background information and sources for topics under discussion. \nWe’ll also be posting daily summaries of the hearings on our Facebook page and here on our blog. We will also do a weekly update on the blog\, or you can get them direct by subscribing to our email newsletter in the box at the bottom of the sidebar on our home page. \nHere is the schedule for the opening statements. Lunch breaks will typically take place between 1pm and 2pm. Shorter breaks will take place several times each day but at times that suit the proceedings rather than at a fixed time. \nUCPI Opening Statements | Day 1 (Monday 2 November)\n\n10:00 AM: David Barr QC (Counsel to the Inquiry)\n2:00 PM: David Barr QC (Counsel to the Inquiry)\n\nUCPI Opening Statements | Day 2 (Tuesday 3 November)\n\n10:00 AM: Peter Skelton QC (Metropolitan Police Service)\n11:30 AM: Gerry Boyle QC (National Police Chiefs’ Counsel)\n12:00 Noon: Richard O’Brien QC (National Crime Agency)\n12:30 PM: Nicholas Griffin QC (Home Office)\n2:00 PM: Oliver Sanders QC (Designated Lawyer Officers)\n\nUCPI Opening Statements | Day 3 (Wednesday 4 November)\n\n10:00 AM: Oliver Sanders QC (Designated Lawyer Officers)\n2:00 PM: Richard Whittam QC (Slater and Gordon Clients)\n2:30 PM: David Lock QC (Peter Francis)\n3:45 PM: Angus McCullough QC (Category M Core Participants)\n\nUCPI Opening Statements | Day 4 (Thursday 5 November)\n\n10:00 AM: Rajiv Menon QC (Core Participants represented by Richard Parry and Jane Deighton)\n12:15 PM: Matthew Ryder QC (Core Participants represented by Mike Schwarz\, Simon Creighton\, Tamsin Allen and Jules Carey)\n2:00 PM: Matthew Ryder QC (Core Participants represented by Mike Schwarz\, Simon Creighton\, Tamsin Allen and Jules Carey)\n5:45 PM: Donal O’Driscoll (Category L Core Participant [appearing in person])\n\nUCPI Opening Statements | Day 5 (Friday 6 November)\n\n10:00 AM: James Scobie QC (Core Participants represented by Paul Heron)\n12:15 PM: Ruth Brander (Non-Police\, Non-State Core Participant Group)\n2:00 PM: Lord Hendy QC (Fire Brigades Union and Unite [Category E Core Participants])\n3:45 PM: Gareth Pierce (National Union of Mineworkers [Category E Core Participant])\n4:15 PM: Dave Smith (Blacklist Support Group [Category E Core Participant])\n\nUCPI Opening Statements | Day 6 (Monday 9 November)\n\n10:00 AM: Phillippa Kaufmann QC (Category H Core Participants represented by Birnberg Peirce\, Hickman & Rose and Hodge Jones & Allen)\n11:45 AM: Helen Steel (Category H and L Core Participant [appearing in person])\n2:00 PM: Heather Williams QC (Category H Core Participants represented by Bindmans)\n3:15 PM: Heather Williams QC (Category F Core Participants)\n4:30 PM: Philllippa Kaufmann QC (Category H and J Core Participants instructed by Harriet Wistrich [excluding Newham Monitoring Project])\n\nUCPI Opening Statements | Day 7 (Tuesday 10 November)\n\n10:00 AM: Imran Khan QC (Baroness Doreen Lawrence [Category G Core Participant])\n10:30 AM: Heather Williams QC (Neville Lawrence OBE [Category G\nCore Participant])\n12:00 Noon: Imran Khan QC (Michael Mansfield QC [Category G Core Participant])\n12:30 AM: Andrew Trollope QC (Azhar Khan [Category I Core Participant])\n2:00 PM: Andrew Trollope QC (Azhar Khan [Category I Core Participant])\n2:30 PM: Dave Morris (Category L Core Participant [appearing in person])\n3:00 PM: Imran Khan QC (The Monitoring Group [Category J Core Participant])\n3:45 PM: Pete Weatherby QC (Category J Core Participant [Newham Monitoring Project] and Category K and L Core Participants)\n\nHOW ARE THE SPYCOPS INQUIRY HEARINGS ORGANISED? \nThe first ‘tranche’ of hearings is taking evidence about the activities of the Special Demonstration Squad (SDS) from its formation in 1968 to 1982.
