On 18 April 2007, the then Secretary of State for Trade and Industry gave a statement to the House of Commons establishing the Redfern Inquiry. The inquiry is chaired by Michael Redfern QC and will carry out an independent investigation into the circumstances surrounding the analysis of human tissue by UK Nuclear Organisations and establish whether or not these analyses were carried out following the correct and proper procedures and whether the data obtained was used appropriately and with the necessary consents. The Inquiry will report to the Secretary of State in due course.
