00:00A public inquiry into undercover policing, which is looking at the activities of the Met's special demonstration squad between 1993 and 2007, continues.
00:14A large part of this inquiry is looking at the events surrounding the racially motivated murder of Stephen Lawrence in 1993 and the subsequent investigation into his family.
00:28Speaking on behalf of Stephen Lawrence's father, Barrister Ifeani Odugu told the inquiry the Lawrence family came under surveillance a day after Stephen's murder.
00:42The information gathered from this surveillance included that the Lawrence's marriage had broken down during the public inquiry into their son's death.
00:57And later in 2000, information linked to their civil claim against the Metropolitan Police, including the claimed settlement figure.
01:07There were also false claims about Neville Lawrence, Stephen's father's finances, including that he was being given £500,000 by BT to set up a civil rights organisation.
01:21None of the details gathered would have helped prevent public disorder, the inquiry was told, which was the supposed aim of the special demonstration squad.
