Mrs. Calton: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence (1) what (a) instruction and (b) guidance his (i) officials and
(ii) Ministers were following prior to the decision not to make the February International Committee of the Red Cross report
available to him as soon as it became available to his Department; [173571]
(2) what (a) written and (b) oral briefing was provided by officials in his Department to inform (i) him and (ii) his Ministers of
the contents of the International Committee of the Red Cross report and actions taken (A) as a result of officials having read the
report and (B) prior to the full report being made available to him. [173576]
Mr. Hoon: Ministers were made aware of those issues in the ICRC interim report relating to United Kingdom armed forces five months
before they were made aware of the report. Ministers subsequently received an explanation of the handling of the full report over
the weekend of 8-9 May 2004. The sequence of events is set out in my reply today to the hon. Member for Mid- Sussex (Mr.
Soames).
