Answered by Seema Malhotra
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. I also refer the Hon Member to the letter of 27 April from the Interim Permanent Under Secretary to the Chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee.
