Intelligence and Security Committee: Annual Report

My right honourable friend the Prime Minister has made the following Statement. I am grateful to the Intelligence and Security Committee for its valuable work and its latest annual report (Cm. 8114). Following consultation with the committee over matters that could not be published without prejudicing the work of the intelligence and security agencies, I have today laid the report before the House. The Government's response to this report will be laid before the House after the Summer Recess. Copies of the report have been placed in the Libraries of both Houses.
