Murder of Patrick Finucane Independent Inquiry: Finance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, how much funding he has allocated to the Finucane Inquiry.
Answered by Hilary Benn
As I outlined in my oral statement of 11 September 2024, I considered the likely costs and impact of the Patrick Finucane Inquiry on public finances. It is the Government’s expectation that the Inquiry will avoid unnecessary costs given all the previous reviews and investigations and the large amount of information and material that is already in the public domain. Public inquiries regularly publish financial reports on their expenditure in the course of their work.
