Letter to the Second Clerk of the Committee
from the Parliamentary Relations and Devolution Department, Foreign
and Commonwealth Office, 20 July 2004
Declassifying PSAS 4 And 7 With Scorecards
I am writing to confirm that, further to the
Committee's request, the Office is content to declassify PSAs
4 (conflict prevention and management) and 7 (globalisation leading
to sustainable development) in their entirety. PSA monitors have
confirmed that, in the light of developments since the scorecards
were drawn up, their content is no longer sensitive enough to
merit classification.
I should add that there will continue to be
circumstances—for example, for security reasons, or to protect
the UK's position in international negotiations—where other
performance-related information might have to remain classified
until the contents cease to be sensitive.
