The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what definition of (a) official and (b) personal information his Department is using to consider whether information is in scope of Humble Addresses.

Answered by Nick Thomas-Symonds

I refer the Hon Member to the Government’s statement and release of information on 1st June, providing an update on the response to the Humble Address. The documents published in the first and second tranches contain the entirety of the documents the Government has available for disclosure, except those being withheld at the request of the Metropolitan police.
