Tranche 1, Phase Hearings of the inquiry took place in November 2020 and took evidence about the SDS between 1968-1972 from non-state witnesses and undercover police officers. The inquiry started hearing evidence on 2 November 2020, with seven days of opening statements then seven days of evidence hearings. The hearings were conducted remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The inquiry was to focus on the deployment of about 140 undercover police officers to spy on over 1,000 political groups over more than 40 years. Tranch1, Phase 2 Hearings in April and May 2021 heard evidence about SDS activities between 1970-1979. In May 2022, Tranche ,1 Phase 3, the inquiry mainly heard evidence from SDS police managers over the period 1968-1982. In July 2022 the Inquiry said they would issue an intermediate report but had not yet done so. Tranche 2 Hearings were scheduled for the Spring of 2024 and Hearings were expected to continue beyond 2024 Criticism of the inquiry Criticisms leveled against the inquiry have included concerns about long delays in its work (the Guardian said: "The inquiry has performed to perfection its dual function of creating the illusion of a political response, while firmly kicking the issue into the long grass"), the perceived suitability of John Mitting as chair, and the decision to allow many undercover officers giving evidence to the inquiry to remain anonymous. In March 2018 at least 60 campaigners and their legal teams walked out of hearings examining whether the identities of undercover officers should be concealed. A number of the CPs (Core Participants) involved in the inquiry are campaigning together. They are the Campaign Opposing Police Surveillance (COPS) and Police Spies Out of Lives.
