Baroness Nuala O’Loan, chair of the Daniel Morgan Independent Panel, said Dame Cressida’s refusal to allow “proper access” to the Holmes computer investigation system hampered the inquiry. The panel said Dame Cressida, then an assistant commissioner, was the “senior officer in the Metropolitan Police with responsibility for supporting the panel’s work” when it was set up in 2013. After that was resolved, the panel said it wanted access to the Metropolitan Police’s Holmes computer system but the report said Dame Cressida “expressed a strong reluctance”. Baroness O’Loan said the panel had “never received any reasonable explanation for the refusal over seven years by Cressida Dick and her successors to permit proper access to the Holmes accounts”.
