Select Committee on Foreign Affairs Minutes of Evidence


Letter to the Parliamentary Relations and Devolution Team, Foreign and Commonwealth Office, from the Clerk of the Committee, 22 February 2005

  Thank you for your letter of earlier today, concerning the transcript of the oral evidence session with Sir Michael Jay. The Committee discussed the letter at its meeting this afternoon.

  The Committee does not accept your proposal that the transcript should not be published. It believes that publication of as much of the transcript as possible is in the public interest.

  I must therefore request receipt of your proposals for redaction of the transcript not later than close of play on Tuesday 1 March, together with the additional information which was requested at the evidence session and any other relevant information which you intend to provide.

Steve Priestley

Clerk of the Committee
