Chair Baroness Kate Lampard CBE salary £239,500.00 and expenses £3,795.38 as a sub-component per the report's own explainer, not additive, so left out of panel_remuneration to avoid double-counting); Legal costs £4,271,971.27 (Counsel to the Inquiry and Solicitor to the Inquiry, excludes Section 40 costs); Section 40 costs £1,087,890.06 (legal representation of the Inquiry's Core Participants under its Protocol on Legal Costs); Accommodation costs £191,286.87; Public Hearings and witness engagement costs £568,737.33 (venue, security and Audio-Visual support, plus witness engagement incl. emotional support provider); IT, digital and communications £276,538.98; Specialist contractors £91,885.84 (Chief Psychologist, Independent Assessors and Experts). other_costs field = Public Hearings/witness engagement + Specialist contractors combined (£660,623.17), as neither maps to a single dedicated field. Costs include VAT where applicable; based on invoice payment date, not accrual (per the report's note 4). This is the Inquiry's first report aligned to a standard April-March financial year; it OVERLAPS with the previously published 10 April - 30 September 2024 period (£1,855,064.33). Do not sum with that row without adjusting for the ~6-month overlap. Component figures rounded independently to the nearest £; summed components (£7,556,398) differ from total_cost (£7,556,399) by £1 due to independent rounding of each verbatim pence figure.
