, representing the Cabinet Office, told the High Court on Friday that the inquiry’s requests for material were “extraordinarily broad” and should be blocked.between Mr Johnson, his former adviser Henry Cook and 40 named individuals involved in the Government response to the pandemic.
But lawyers for the Government have accused the inquiry chair of overreach, arguing that her requests would force the Cabinet Office to hand over material “entirely irrelevant to the inquiry”. So far, Mr Johnson has only surrendered WhatsApp messages since spring 2021 insisting that security advisers had told him to permanently turn off a previous phone when its security became compromised.
