Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what are the extra costs in terms of (1) people, and (2) storage, to allow the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy to handle Top Secret and Strap material from the agencies on a regular basis, rather than occasionally under the Osmotherly rules.
As has been the case under successive administrations, the Government does not comment on departmental security matters.
