From the outset, Lord Fraser said he wanted the Inquiry to be conducted in public with the maximum degree of openness and transparency.

A spokesperson for the Inquiry said: “We are aware of the huge interest in the Inquiry. The size of the venue does restrict the number of people who can attend but the BBC coverage and internet link will open the proceedings to a much wider audience.”
