Cabinet Committees

My right honourable friend the Prime Minister has made the following Written Ministerial Statement. I have today laid before both Houses the annual reports for 2006 of the Intelligence Services Commissioner, the right honourable Sir Peter Gibson (HC 253), and the Interception of Communications Commissioner, the right honourable Sir Paul Kennedy (HC 252). Some sensitive information has been excluded from both reports in accordance with Sections 58(7) and 60(5) of the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000. I am grateful to the commissioners for their reports and the work that has gone into preparing them.
