Lynskey tribunal
The Lynskey tribunal (1948) was a tribunal of inquiry into allegations of corruption among British government ministers and civil servants. The allegations raised public alarm and disgust in the economic climate of austerity that prevailed in contemporary Britain. Though there were no prosecutions, the enquiry resulted in ministerial resignations.
==Background==
The years following the Second World War saw the United Kingdom suffering from widespread material shortages and from rationing more severe than it had been during the war. During 1948, allegations began to surface that ministers and civil servants were taking bribes to help businessmen circumvent the rules. Home Secretary James Chuter Ede established a tribunal under High Court judge Sir George Lynskey, assisted by Godfrey Vick KC and Gerald Upjohn KC, and with a broad ranging remit to enquire into the allegations. The enquiry was thought to be sufficiently important to recall Attorney-General Sir Hartley Shawcross from his mission to the United Nations, where he was completing the administration of the Nuremberg Trials, so that he could lead for the government's interest.〔Bryson (2004)〕 Goodhart argued that using Shawcross's elite forensic skills enhanced the efficiency, effectiveness and reputation of the tribunal.〔Goodhart, A. L. (1965) "(The Warren Commission From The Procedural Standpoint )" ''New York University Law Review'', 40 404–423〕
