From individual statutory public inquiry websites, it is known that there have been 11 statutory public inquiries held in Scotland since 2007. In response to an FOI request in 2024, the Scottish Government confirmed that since January 2020, “a number of [non-statutory] reviews have been conducted, ranging from small-scale assessments of policy to substantial investigations akin to a public inquiry”, although “these [non-statutory reviews] are not recorded in a form that would allow us to collate them”1Scottish Government.
