Summary
The first report from a seven-year inquiry into undercover policing in England and Wales has been published, finding that undercover policing deployments were unjustified and would have been "brought to a rapid end" if the public had known what was going on. <br /><br />First commissioned in 2015 by then Home Secretary Theresa May, the investigation is aiming to discover the truth about undercover policing over the past 50 years and provide recommendations for the future. <br /><br />On the Sky News Daily with Niall Paterson, our Home Editor Jason Farrell explains the history of ‘spycops’ that led to the inquiry, and Kate Wilson, an environmental activist who was deceived into a two-year intimate relationship by an undercover police officer in 2003, talks about her experience. <br /><br />Producer: Soila Apparicio <br />Interviews producer: Alex Edden <br />Editor: Danielle Weekes-Chilufya
