The #SpyCopsInquiry has published their "November 2020: hearings round-up" & announce that Tranche 1 (Phase 2) evidence hearings will take place from 21st April to 14th May 2021. https://www.ucpi.org.uk/2020/12/18/november-2020-hearings-round-up/

It's currently unclear where the evidence hearings will take place, if core participants will be able to attend in person or have to attend a separate 'viewing room' elsewhere, further the farce of the refusal to broadcast proceedings to the homes of anyone except the chairman.

Of course the covid restrictions have made the #spycops inquiry more difficult to organise. But it would be remarkably easy to overcome a great many of the problems by simply broadcasting all the proceedings (with whatever delay the chair seems to think required)

Whatever the venue ends up being, I will be attending and attempting to post as much of the detail as it's revealed on here. As will @copscampaign, @out_of_lives & @UndercoverNet, I recommend following them if you don't already.
