Inquiry programme
The Inspector has written to the Secretary of State setting out his recommendations on the inquiry programme.
The Secretary of State for Communities & Local Government, Hazel Blears, has decided to delay her formal announcement of the inquiry timetable for a short time. As a result, the inquiry will not start on 15 April, as was scheduled, and all deadlines for submission of evidence are suspended.
The Secretary of State has issued an open letter setting out her reasons for this approach.
