Administration of Justice: Secrecy

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice with reference to Appendix J, paragraph 11 of the Justice and Security Green Paper, in how many of the cases referred to he estimates the Government will be unable to defend itself because sensitive information is central to its defence.
