AN INQUIRY into undercover police officers who infiltrated campaign groups and devastated activists’ lives will not end until 2023, it was announced today — it was originally due to finish this year.

The official probe was launched in 2015 after a wave of revelations about undercover unit malpractice, including claims Scotland Yard spied on campaigners fighting for justice for murdered black teenager Stephen Lawrence.
