Exclusive: King’s Fund and Institute for Government challenge Boris Johnson’s refusal to start investigation

The Institute for Government (IfG), whose leadership includes the former Conservative cabinet minister David Lidington and the former Labour science minister Lord Sainsbury, will call on the prime minister to set up a statutory public inquiry in May, with hearings to start in September.
