The hon. and learned Lady makes a good point. If some of these reports can be or have been shared with some Governments or Administrations, there is simply no basis for arguing that they cannot be shared with this Parliament, through the Select Committees.

Does my right hon. and learned Friend agree that that prompts questions about how the Government are co-ordinating the production of the reports?
