Select Committee on Foreign Affairs Written Evidence


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

  Thank you for your letter of 9 February.

  The substance of this letter touches on intelligence we may or may not have received, and on sensitive intelligence liaison relationships. I am afraid that these are areas, therefore, which it would not be appropriate to discuss with the Foreign Affairs Committee.

  As part of its remit, the Intelligence and Security Committee is, as I am sure you know, currently investigating intelligence matters relating to the July terrorist attacks with a view to reporting to the Prime Minister in the spring. We are co-operating with the Committee in that investigation.
