Lord Mandelson

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.

As set out in the methodological note included in this publication, in order that the Government could respond swiftly and transparently to discharge the spirit and letter of the Humble Address, search parameters were included based on the limbs of the Humble Address motion. All relevant individuals were instructed to retain and provide to the Cabinet Office all information they held that falls in scope of the Humble Address motion.
