There is a quote in the article about the enquiry being established to “give independent scrutiny of the actions and decisions” of the First Minister, to my mind, in order to satisfy those requirements there needs to be transparency and scrutiny that can only come from having it observed or held in public.
Victims of rape have their anonymity preserved in criminal trials, so it shouldn’t be difficult to take steps to ensure that the women involved in this enquiry have their rights protected.
In order to have good governance, there needs to be freedom of information, freedom of the press, a strong judicial system and transparency, if we don’t have the above then politicians and governments can try to avoid being held to account. [Post edited 21 Aug 2018 12:04]

I believe that is exactly what Carwyn Jones is trying to do, to avoid being held to account. I also believe that's why he announced his retirement, not because it was always planned but because he was worried about his chickens coming home to roost and being paraded in public | |

There will be significant details that both sides may want heard in private.
If there is an inquiry and the result is published then justice is served.
Real life and Jeremy Kyle are and should be worlds apart. |  |

Sensitive info should be kept out of the public domain of course but the widows complaints are that vital witnesses and her own QC are being excluded from being involved, probably for political reasons. |  |

Highjack is on the money. I am not advocating a Jeremy Kyle free for all and you cannot assume that just because an enquiry is completed and the results published that justice is served. If an investigation is given narrow terms of reference, then it is possible to limit its scope and effectiveness and potentially influence its outcome. Transparency is essential in all investigations involving government. | | | |
