Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what representations he has received from counterparts in Five Eyes countries that do not have a statutory duty of candour.

The sovereign capabilities of our security and intelligence agencies, underpinned by appropriate safeguards and oversight, enable us to keep ahead of our adversaries and provide the lynchpin for our collaboration with our Five Eyes partners.

We work incredibly closely with our allies, particularly our Five Eyes partners, to ensure our collective national security.

We are clear that the duty of candour must not undermine national security.
