Lord Mandelson
Asked by: Baroness Finn (Conservative - Life peer)
Tuesday 24th March 2026

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the remarks by Baroness Smith of Basildon on 24 February (HL Deb col 500), what the role of ministers will be in the decisions by the Permanent Secretary to the Cabinet Office in sifting the documents for the humble Address, including in (1) determining scope, and (2) redactions.

Answered by Baroness Anderson of Stoke-on-Trent - Baroness in Waiting (HM Household) (Whip)

As set out in the Humble Address debate of 4th February, the process is being conducted and led by the Cabinet Secretary who has delegated the role to the Cabinet Office Permanent Secretary. Civil servants are of course accountable to Ministers, who are in turn accountable to Parliament.
