Orgreave Inquiry

Verbatim: 'This report sets out the expenditure incurred by the Inquiry in the financial year ending March 2026.' Table 1 (Year End March 2026): Legal Costs £40,661.06; Staff Costs (inc. Chair) £127,109.79; Estates £11,639.78; IT, T&S, and other expenses £68,973.75; Total £248,384.38. Table 2 (Chair, Panel, Secretariat detail): Chair Fees and Expenses £7,250 (footnote 1: 'October 2025 – March 2026 only'); Panel Fees and Expenses £0 (footnote 2: 'Panel fees commence in Financial Year 26/27'); Secretariat Costs £119,859.79. CAVEAT: footnote 1 indicates the Chair's fee-earning period began partway through this financial year, and footnote 2 confirms Panel members had not yet begun earning fees; the report gives no earlier comparative period, consistent with this being the Inquiry's first published finance report. DATES: the report states only 'the financial year ending March 2026'; period_start (2025-04-01) is inferred from the standard UK inquiry financial-year convention (1 April – 31 March), which is not itself printed in this document but is the convention explicitly confirmed by other inquiries' financial reports transcribed in this same batch (e.g. Southport: '1 April 2025 – 31 March 2026'). MAPPING: inquiry_legal_costs = Legal Costs (£40,661.06 → £40,661); the report publishes no separate core-participant/Section 40 legal representation line at all (unlike some other inquiries' reports, which explicitly disclose such blending), so core_participant_legal_costs is left EMPTY because none is stated – not assumed to be zero. panel_remuneration = Chair Fees and Expenses + Panel Fees and Expenses (£7,250 + £0 = £7,250); combined because both are the same category (personal remuneration/expenses of Chair and Panel appointees), split in the source only because Panel had no spend this year; the Chair figure is an undifferentiated 'Fees and Expenses' total with no separate fee/expense split given, so reimbursed expenses cannot be isolated from remuneration here. staff_costs = Secretariat Costs (£119,859.79 → £119,860); reconciles exactly against 'Staff Costs (inc. Chair)' (£127,109.79) minus Chair Fees and Expenses (£7,250) = £119,859.79, confirming Secretariat is the non-Chair component of that published line. accommodation_costs = Estates (£11,639.78 → £11,640). technology_costs left EMPTY: 'IT, T&S, and other expenses' (£68,973.75) is a single blended line combining IT with travel & subsistence and unspecified 'other expenses', with no sub-breakdown given, so per the mapping rules it is not split or forced into technology_costs – routed to other_costs in full instead. safeguarding_costs left EMPTY: no such line published. other_costs = IT, T&S, and other expenses (£68,973.75 → £68,974). All four published Table 1 line items sum to exactly £248,384.38, matching the report's own printed Total with no residual. CSV amounts rounded independently to the nearest whole pound; rounded category columns (40,661 legal + 7,250 panel + 119,860 staff + 11,640 accommodation + 68,974 other = £248,385) differ from rounded total_cost (£248,384) by £1 due to independent rounding of five separately-rounded cells (the verbatim pence figures themselves sum exactly to the published total).
