  10. The individuals listed below, but for those who have been granted anonymity by the Chair, who are represented by either David Enright, Howe + Co or Neil Hudgell, Hudgells Solicitors.

All of the individuals below (and those 11 Core Participants granted anonymity, and one additional Core Participant captured by the terms of the Restriction Order dated 3 February 2022) have been found to be eligible for an award under section 40(1)(b) of the Inquiries Act 2005 for expenses incurred in respect of legal representation, as per the Notice of Determination by the Minister for London and Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Minister for Small Business, Consumers and Labour Markets) under Section 40(4).

As noted in the Progress Update published September 2021, the Chair has the power to designate a person or organisation as a Core Participant at any time during the course of the Inquiry. It should not be assumed, therefore, that the “list” of Core Participants is closed. Any person or organisation who/which considers that they should be made a Core Participant may apply for that status although they should explain in the application why the same is being made outside the time specified in Statement of Approach (004).
