RT HON

MP, MR PETER
RICKETTS, CMG AND
MR WILLIAM
EHRMAN, CMG
27 JUNE 2003
Q1420 Mr Maples: It is on the record.
Mr Straw: Yes.
Q1421 Mr Maples: The whole thing?
Mr Straw: Yes.
Mr Maples: Okay.
Q1422 Mr Pope: My final question
is Gilligan has four sources and one of them, he said, had sight
of a GIS document that he said was classified "Top Secret".
I am not an expert on the Official Secrets Act, that would seem
to me, at least, prima facie, a breach of the Officials
Secret Act. Will there be an inquiry to find out who those sources
are?
Mr Straw: *** It is a matter for
senior people in the MoD, I think. I am sure they will be pursuing
the matter.
Chairman: Jack, you are busy and you
have given us the time. Can I thank you and your advisers and
close the meeting.
