Why are identities and information protected?
During the conduct of CDF Commission of Inquiry or Board of Inquiry proceedings that are open to the public, it may be necessary at times to limit the public disclosure of witness identification or other information in fairness to the interests of those affected by the inquiry, or for reasons of operational or national security.
Where necessary, orders to this effect can be issued by the Presidents of the Board or CDF Commission of Inquiry pursuant to Regulation 62 of the Defence (Inquiry) Regulations 1985
