Government Departments: Injunctions
- Question
-
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of the use of super-injunctions by the Government on the reputation of Government.
- Answer
-
The Government has been deeply concerned about the lack of transparency to Parliament and to the public as a result of the super-injunction about the data protection breach from February 2022 relating to the Afghan relocations and assistance policy.
As the Secretary of State for Defence stated to the House on 15 July, the super-injunction was unprecedented. The Government looks forward to engaging with any forthcoming select committee inquiries.
