The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether the Intelligence and Security Committee has authority to publish unredacted information from the Government response to the Humble Address if it disagrees with the Government’s proposed redactions.

Answered by Nick Thomas-Symonds

I refer you to the Oral Statement on the 23rd February and the Government's statement and release of information on 11th March, providing an update on the response to the Humble Address. The Government is working to ensure that Parliament’s instruction is met with the urgency and transparency that it deserves.

The Government continues to work with the Intelligence and Security Committee and is grateful for its assistance on this matter.
