In July 2012, the Home Secretary asked Mark Ellison QC to lead an independent review into whether there was:

  • evidence of corruption in the original Metropolitain Police investigation during the Lawrence investigation
  • evidence withheld from the Macpherson Inquiry
  • inappropriate undercover activity directed at the Lawrence family

This report, also known as the Ellison review, presents his findings.
