Proceeding contribution from Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 5 November 2019. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Intelligence and Security Committee Report.
Intelligence and Security Committee Report
My Lords, first, as I said, the Prime Minister is acting within the orders laid down. This is not a formality. The Prime Minister’s approval for the publication is vital. As I am sure the noble Lord knows, it is a statutory requirement within the JSA 2013. A report such as this is reviewed by the relevant senior officials within government before going to the Prime Minister for final approval.
As I said in the repeat of the Urgent Question, the committee is well informed of the process. I shall not comment further on the process, apart from to say that the Prime Minister is considering the report.
