Lib Dem leader says he fears PM will seek to delay inquiry, which he says must have ‘sharpest teeth imaginable’
Boris Johnson is “trying to hide” from a public inquiry into coronavirus, the Lib Dem leader, Ed Davey, has said, adding that he feared the prime minister could seek to delay one for years, or give it limited powers.
Davey is a key figure in the push for an inquiry, now backed by senior doctors, government scientific advisers and an ex-head of the civil service, having first got Johnson to agree to some sort of investigation in parliament last July.
