The hon. Gentleman is wrong. The intent is to increase scrutiny, not to decrease it.
Sir Ashley Fox (Bridgwater) (Con)

Questions about the Committee’s statement are for the Committee. As I have set out, we have complied fully with the Humble Address and the work of the Intelligence and Security Committee.
