Commons ChamberI have no evidence of any such impact. Over the coming days, the Government and our European partners will be putting great effort into ensuring that rapid progress is made on a transatlantic trade and investment partnership.

Will the Foreign Secretary confirm that no Member is having his phone tapped or his e-mails intercepted?
