The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether Members of Parliament will be given the opportunity to read the China Audit in a secure location.

There are mechanisms in place for certain parliamentarians to have access to classified Government material. The Government will not be releasing the full details of the findings of the Audit as it was conducted at a higher security classification.
