It is unclear why Rachel Reeves thinks that 4 years after the events occurred the COVID corruption commissioner appointment will achieve something that previous investigations have not.
Tom Hayhoe's appointment is only for 12 months, which is not long enough for such a complex enquiry, especially one that will be particularly difficult with questionable occurrences having taken place years ago.
Despite it being one of Labour's manifesto pledges, it took them 5 months of being in Government before they made this appointment, highlighting a lack of urgency.
While investigating fraud and recovering taxpayer money is important, this appointment may easily cost the Exchequer more than it recovers.
