The presumption is that documents should be made public unless there
are compelling reasons to the contrary. If the Inquiry is provided with
documents which the provider does not wish to enter the public domain,
the Inquiry team will discuss its status and the reasons for withholding
with the provider. If the team and the provider agree that particular
material is not relevant to the Inquiry’s remit, or cannot be published,
it will not appear on the website. In such circumstances the team will
have seen the material and have reached a view about its relevance and
the alleged need for it to be withheld, or otherwise. Where it is agreed
that any material should not be published, an explanation of the reasons
for that decision will be given in each case.
