The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what discussions he has had with Interpath as administrators to Global Counsel Ltd on the retention of emails relating to Lord Mandelson and (a) the Humble Address and (b) to assist the Metropolitan Police investigation.

Answered by Nick Thomas-Symonds

I refer you to the Government's statement and release of information on 11th March, providing an update on the response to the Humble Address. TAll government departments, ministers and relevant individuals have been instructed to retain and provide to the Cabinet Office all information they hold that falls in scope of the Humble Address motion.

The Government does not comment on ongoing police investigations but stands ready to support the police in whatever way it can.
