Petition Action

Publish Government papers regarding COVID19 after 10 years.

Petition Details

During the COVID19 epidemic the current government is making decisions that many of the public find controversial and disagree with. At present, under the Public Records Act 1958 internal documents are not released for 20 years. For COVID19-related documents this should be reduced to 10 years.

Additional Information

The politicians and civil servants involved in decision making during this emergency must be held to account during their professional career time spans, not after, when they have retired. A ten year limit will allow a public inquiry full access to the facts and the public to understand the reasoning process of such an inquiry.
