Witness statements Those who gave oral evidence to the Inquiry were asked to supply a formal written statement. Many others submitted a formal written statement only. All of these statements are prefixed with the letters WIT followed by a string of numbers indicating the Inquiry witness number, and the page of the witness statement. Thus WIT 0247 0101 refers to page 101 of the statement from witness 247. The name of a witness is given at the relevant point in the text.
Transcript The Inquiry heard 95 days of oral evidence. References to the transcript refer first to the day of evidence, and then to the relevant page for that day. Thus T1 p. 02 refers to page 2 of the transcript for day one of the oral hearing.
Access
Source material will not be directly accessible until the conclusion of the Inquiry, but much that is relevant to this report may be viewed by making use of hyper-text links to documents in the daily transcripts. Many relevant witness statements are already on the website.
