Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with the (1) United States Department of Justice, and (2) White House, relating to the disclosure of redacted Epstein material to UK public bodies to assist with (a) the Government response to the Humble Address and (b) law enforcement in the UK.

I refer the Noble Baroness to the response provided on 2 July to Question 13198 which is copied below:

Decisions on access to documents held by the United States are a matter for the relevant authorities in that country. The Metropolitan Police operates independently of Government and any engagement between UK law enforcement and international counterparts would take place through the appropriate law enforcement channels.
