It can be argued that the current copyright obfuscates

How so?
I do feel that any single email from us would be
promptly ignored as there
probably is a large volume of emails. It may be prudent to either start a
petition (for the Parliament) or ask a few MPs to raise the copyright issue
in the Parliament.
Petitioning for what? The report is already under the CC-by compatible
Open Government Licence 3.0
First of, the websites terms and conditions do not
explicitly release the
works under a free license.[1]
No, the report's licence is on the pages of the report itself.
Moreover it mentions BSkyB, BBC and ITN as copyright
holders of some of the
documents. Any migration to Wikisource must filter out such content.
Are your referring to inclusions in the report, or to other content on
the inquiry website?
Lastly there are a number of now declassified
documents that provide vital
evidence to reinforce the reports findings, these too need to be freely
licensed.
AIUI, they are (albeit with understandable redactions).
