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that the transcript should not be published.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
