Lord Norton, who led the report, expressed that 'lessons learned' is a vacuous phrase when inquiry recommendations are ignored or delayed, causing distress to victims, survivors, and their families.
The House of Lords Statutory Inquiries Committee warned that public inquiries are perceived as too lengthy and costly, leading to diminished public confidence and ongoing trauma for affected families.
In recent years, despite large-scale inquiries, families fear that recommendations will vanish, raising concerns over the effectiveness and actual implementation of these inquiries.
A government spokesperson assured commitment to 'righting past wrongs' and delivering justice for victims, acknowledging that they will carefully consider the findings of the inquiries committee's report.
