The tables below set out the costs of the Inquiry.
Only expenditure authorised through or on behalf of the Inquiry Secretariat is included in the figures. Government Departments or Agencies may also have other costs relating to the Inquiry which are met internally and are not included within the Inquiry’s expenditure figures. The figures include estimates for some expenditure where invoices have not yet been received or processed and may therefore be subject to minor adjustment.
