Annex 14
Letter from Damian Green MP to the Speaker
of the House of Commons
I understand from my solicitors that the DPP
wrote to you on 4 March asking you for a timetable when the matter
of parliamentary privilege may be resolved. The DPP sent to my
solicitors a copy of his letter to you. I further understand that
you have sent a response. The DPP says "it would be inappropriate"
for him to provide my solicitors with a copy of your response
and has suggested that I should contact you to request a copy
of your letter.
I am therefore writing to you to request a copy of
your letter to the DPP. It would seem only fair and transparent
that I am provided with a copy, as this matter clearly has a material
impact on my ability to perform my parliamentary duties.
